The Cluster Platform 4500/3 is shipped with the servers, hubs, and each of the arrays already connected in the cabinet. You should not need to cable the system. Refer to FIGURE 2-4for servicing the cables.

This section describes how the Cluster Platform 4500/3 components are cabled when shipped from the factory. The integrated platform provides FC-AL cables connected to the on-board GBICs on the I/O board. Serial cables connect the Ethernet hub to the management server and 10BASE-T ports on the disk arrays.
