12. Verify that SCSI bus connector 1 on the EXP300 connects to the top connector of
the Server 1 ServeRAID
top port; then, verify that the SCSI bus connector 2 on the EXP300 connects to
the top connector of the Server 2 ServeRAID adapter in PCI Slot 3 using the
cable (3B).
Attention: Do not change the position of the option switches on the EXP300. A
loss of data can occur if you change the position of the option switches.
13. Connect the Server 1 built-in Ethernet controller to an active port on a hub that is
part of your public network; then, connect the Server 2 built-in Ethernet controller
to another active port on a hub that is part of your public network.
Note: You do not have to connect both servers to the same hub, as long as they
are connected to hubs on the same public network.
14. Verify that the Ethernet crossover cable connects between the Server 1 Ethernet
10/100 adapter in PCI Slot 1 and the Server 2 Ethernet adapter in PCI Slot 1 to
interconnect the cluster.
Attention: Before you turn on the servers and configure the software, you must
connect the servers in your cluster to active ports on your public network, and
connect the servers to each other. Failure to do this will cause your software con-
figuration to fail.
15. If you have a UPS, plug it into a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet. If
you have PDUs, plug each PDU into properly wired and grounded electrical out-
lets on separate circuits.
Attention: Some devices might automatically turn on when you plug them into a
power source. If this happens, turn those devices off by pressing the power button.
Proceed to Chapter 3, "Configuring Windows 2000 Advanced Server," on page 11 or
Chapter 4, "Configuring Windows NT 4.0 Enterprise Edition," on page 23 to begin
configuring your cluster software.
