Cable Routing Options
Storage system cabinets have both upper and lower access openings available for Fibre Channel
cable routing (Figure 46 (page 70)). It is also possible to route network cables and main power
cords through specially designated upper and lower openings in the cabinet.
NOTE: FC connections to expansion cabinets are routed at the REAR.
Figure 46 Bringing Cables Into the Cabinets Through Access Openings
NOTE: For Gigabit Ethernet (GbE), iSCSI and Fibre Channel cables that connect the storage
system to the customer network or hosts, approximately 7 feet (2 meters) of each cable must be
reserved for internal routing within the storage system cabinet.
Service Processor Connections
The SP uses customer-supplied connections, as outlined in “Supported Network Topologies”
(page 63). Table 14 (page 70) provides general guidelines for completing these external
connections.
