S8700-series port connections

The network cable connections depend on the type of server, type of memory duplication, and the type of control network. All cables are CAT5 or better patch cables except for the fiber cable that interconnects the DAL2 cards for hardware duplication.

●For a guide to connect the cables to the servers for hardware duplication on the S8730 Server, see Figure 1: Duplication and control network cabling for hardware duplication (S8730) on page 15.

●For a guide to connect the cables to the servers for hardware duplication on the S8720 or S8710 Server, see ,Figure 2: Duplication and control network cabling for hardware duplication (S8720/S8710) on page 16.

●For a guide to connect the cables to the servers for software duplication on the S8730 Server, see Figure 3: Duplication and control network cabling for software duplication (S8730) on page 17.
