Prerequisites

About this chapter

If you are setting up a cluster, this chapter explains how to cable a cluster either within system cabinets or within a standard 19-in. (48.26 cm) equipment rack (rack).

Note: For an explanation of a cluster, refer to the System Administrator's Guide (5.2 or later).

Prerequisites

You need the following items to set up your cluster:

Required equipment and tools

Assemble the following equipment and tools to assist you in setting up the cluster:

#1, #2, and #3 Phillips screwdrivers
antistatic wrist strap and grounding leash

Required manuals

Assemble the following manuals to assist you in setting up the cluster:

If your cluster components are in system cabinets, the System Cabinet Installation Guide.
If you are installing your cluster components in racks
- Hardware Guide for your filer
- Fibre Channel StorageShelves Hardware Guide

Required labels

Assemble the following labels that were provided with your cluster:

solid-colored labels that you use to label cables for all Channel A loops
striped labels matching the solid-colored labels that you use to label cables for all Channel B loops

Note: In the figures illustrating the cabled clusters later in this chapter, the cables are shown in color for clarity: a solid-colored line represents a Channel A cable and a dashed-colored line represents a Channel B cable. However, the cables you receive are not colored; only the labels you receive are colored. The colors of the cables in the figures reflect the colors of the labels you receive.
