Connecting the components

After installing the rails and enclosures in the rack, the FlashSystem 5100 control enclosures are
connected to power, the network, and any optional expansion enclosures.
After all cabling connections are completed, the system components are powered on.

Connecting Ethernet cables to the node canisters

To provide system management connectivity for the system, connect Ethernet cables to Ethernet port 1
of both node canisters in the control enclosure.
Procedure
Optionally, connect Ethernet port 2 of each node canister in the system to a second IP network that will
provide redundant connection to the system management interfaces.
This port can also be used for iSCSI connectivity to the system by hosts on the network. If there is more
than one control enclosure in the system, ensure that port 2 of every node canister is connected to the
same network to provide access if the configuration node fails.

Connecting Fibre Channel cables to the control enclosure

If your system has one or more Fibre Channel adapters installed, use Fibre Channel cables to connect the
two node canisters in the enclosure to the switches in the Fibre Channel SAN.
Before you begin
Refer to the "Planning" section of the IBM Knowledge Center for instructions on determining the number
of required cables and their intended port locations.
Procedure
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
1. Referring to the "Planning" section of the documentation, connect the required number of Fibre
Channel cables to the node canisters in the control enclosure
Note: Both canisters must have the same number of cables connected.
2. To connect additional Fibre Channel cables, connect the same number of cables to each canister.
