Connection of 10GbE Network Controller ports to the Network Switch
Optical fiber cables are recommended for the best airflow and are easier to route than copper cables. Select four HP BladeSystem c-
Class 10Gb Short Range Small Form-Factor Pluggable Options for each Node to connect the Node to the Switch(es), eight total per pair
of Nodes. Select the same number of HP X130 10G SFP+ LC SR Transceivers for the corresponding ports in the
HP 5920AF-24XG Switch and the same number of HP Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 2 fiber 2m Cables.

Connection of the Integrated Lights-Out port to the Network Switch
Select one HP X120 1G SFP RJ45 Transceiver per Node for the corresponding Switch ports, two total per pair of Nodes. Select the same

Trunk between Switches within the Rack (required when two Switches are selected to avoid a single point of failure)
Select two HP X130 10G SFP+ LC SR Transceivers and one HP Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 2 fiber 1m Cable per Node to use for
the trunk to ensure it is not a bottleneck.

Connection of dedicated network to facility network
Determine the number of Switch ports to be connected to the facility network. If two Switches per Rack are configured to avoid a single
point of failure within the Rack, connect both to the facility network. Select the appropriate number and type of DACs or transceivers
that match the facility network. Refer to the QuickSpecs at:
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14260_div/14260_div.pdf
NOTE: A private network may be preferred for the HP StoreAll Storage cluster using HP 5920-24XG Switches installed within the
Rack(s) that is separate from a client access network using facility switches. This private network for the cluster will provide isolated
and reliable internal communication between the Nodes. It will also provide a separate access path to the Nodes for management and
maintenance. If a private network is configured, the aforementioned dedicated network switch rules should be used for a pair of
Switches in each Rack with four exceptions:
Only two of the four available 10GbE Network Controller ports are connected to the HP 5920-24XG Switches within the Rack.
Select two HP BladeSystem c-Class 10Gb Short Range Small Form-Factor Pluggable Options (455883-B21) per Node to connect
the Node to the Switch, four total per pair of Nodes. Select the same number of HP X130 10G SFP+ LC SR Transceivers (JD092B)
for the corresponding ports in the HP 5920AF-24XG Switch and the same number of HP Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 2
fiber 2m Cables (QK733A).
The size of the trunk between the Switches in the Rack can be reduced by half. Select two HP X130 10G SFP+ LC SR Transceivers
(JD092B) and one HP Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 2 fiber 1m Cable (QK732A) per pair of Nodes to use for the trunk to
ensure it is not a bottleneck.
If multiple Racks have been ordered and the Nodes are to be part of the same cluster, the Switches in the Racks must be
connected (spanned). For each pair of Racks that need to be connected, select eight HP X130 10G SFP+ LC SR Transceivers
(JD092B) and four HP Premier Flex LC/LC Multi-mode OM4 Cables per Node of suitable length.
