Cabling the Nodes
Proper cabling can simplify service and assembly of the cluster, so following
appropriate cabling standards is vital to a successful cluster setup.
Using Labeling Standards
Proper labeling can prevent improper connections and simplify cluster
assembly and service. Make sure to label each server with the correct node
labels that are provided.
Also label the ends of the following cables:
■ Ethernet crossover cable
■ Cluster Integrity (CI) serial cable
■ Keyboard, monitor, and mouse cables
■ Server power cables
Each label must identify the server node to which the cable connects.
Cabling the Public LAN Connection
Connect the public LAN Ethernet cable to the NIC in slot 4 of the servers.
Figure 2-1 illustrates proper cabling.
