• Fibre Channel – Congure Fibre Channel zoning to allow the server HBAs and Storage Center HBAs to communicate.

• iSCSI – Congure the iSCSI initiator on the server to use the Storage Center HBAs as the target.

• SAS – Directly connect the controller to a server using the SAS front-end connections.
