Cabling the cluster adapters

Cabling the adapters

To cable the cluster adapters, complete the following steps, using the diagram for reference. The IB cluster adapters are in slot 6. NVRAM5 adapters, which function as the cluster interconnect adapters, are in slot 11.

Step	Action
1	Plug one end of the optical cable into one of the local node's cluster adapter ports, then plug the other end into the partner node's corresponding cluster adapter port. Attention You must not cross-cable the cluster interconnect adapter. Cable the local node ports only to the identical ports on the partner node.
2	Repeat Step 1 for the remaining port on the cluster adapter.
3	Gently pull on the cable ends to ensure that they are properly seated.
4	Go to Chapter 4, Configuring a Cluster.
