Planning for Communications and Data Cables
4-4 Stratus ftServer V 100, V 200, and V 400 Systems: Site Planning Guide (R543)
– RSN console server to host
– AA-E96600 RSN dialup console server (if present) to modem
 Hydra communications cables for U760 PICMG 2.16 adapter in network
I/O enclosure
Configurations That Include U772 and U773 Switches
For ftServer systems that include U772 Ethernet and U773 fibre channel switches, you
will need to consider the following cables:
 Ethernet cables (AW-B38029):
– One cable to connect one U772 Ethernet switch to RSN console server
– Two cables to connect two U772 Ethernet switches to two embedded Ethernet
ports (one on each core I/O enclosure)
– Two cables to connect the two U772 Ethernet switches to two U773 fibre
channel switches
– If ftScalable storage array is present, one cable to connect one U772 Ethernet
switch to the PC console (which you must supply) for Web management of
ftScalable Storage array
– If ftScalable storage array is present, four cables to connect two U772 Ethernet
switches to two ftScalable Storage RAID controller trays
 Two Ethernet cables which you must supply to connect two UPS units to two
U772 Ethernet switches
 If a network I/O enclosure is present, two Ethernet cables to connect port 1 of a
U575V Ethernet adapter in slot 0 of each core I/O enclosure to the network I/O
enclosure Ethernet switches
 Serial cables to connect:
– System console to the ftServer system
– RSN console server to an ftServer system
– AA-E96600 RSN dialup console server (if present) to modem
 Fibre Channel cables (AW-B90000-020) to connect Fibre Channel PCI adapters,
U773 fibre channel switches, and ftScalable Storage arrays (if present)
 Hydra cables for U760 PICMG 2.16 adapters in network I/O enclosure
For All Configurations
You will need to consider the cables for PCI adapters in your system. See Table 4-6 for
cable descriptions.
