4-8 Stratus ftServer V 2302, V 4304, and V 6308 Systems: Site Planning Guide (R624)
Ethernet Cables
In addition to the Ethernet cables listed in this section, you must also provide the
following Ethernet network support structures:
• Network connection points, for the network Ethernet cables from the available
Ethernet ports in the CPU- I⁄ O enclosures.
• Separate class C Ethernet subnets for various system components. See “Ethernet
Subnet Requirements” on page 4-9 for details.
You will need Stratus part number AK-000551 (7 ft.) Ethernet cables for the following
connections:
• Between port 0 of an embedded adapter in one CPU-I/O enclosure to one
U772 Ethernet switch and between port 0 of the embedded adapter in the second
CPU-I/O enclosure to the second U772 Ethernet switch (two cables).
• Between each ftScalable Storage RAID controller tray and each U772 Ethernet
switch, for Web management of ftScalable Storage systems (four cables).
• In V 4304 and V 6308 systems, between each Fibre Channel switch and a
U772 Ethernet switch. Each FC switch connects to a different Ethernet switch (two
cables).
• Optionally, between port 25 of each U764 PICMG 2.16 switch in the network
I/O enclosure, if present, and port 1 of each embedded Ethernet port on the
ftServer system (two cables). Each switch connects to the adapter in a different
CPU-I/O enclosure.
• Optionally, between the network connection points at your site and available
Ethernet ports in the ftServer system (embedded adapters, U578V Quad-Port
Copper Gigabit Ethernet Adapters, or U776V Quad-Port Fiber Gigabit Ethernet
Adapters).
NOTE
Two Ethernet ports are typically paired and teamed in
software for fault tolerance. Each member of the pair
requires an Ethernet cable.
Additionally, you will need Ethernet cables for the following connections:
• Stratus part number AW-B38100-01 Ethernet cables to interconnect the two
U772 Ethernet switches (two cables).
• For management of the UPS units, you must supply your own Ethernet cables
between each UPS unit’s management card and a U772 Ethernet switch (each
UPS connects to a different switch) (two cables).
