Cabling The Dell EqualLogic PS6000/PS6100/PS6500 Storage Arrays 1. Connect a network cable from the network switch 0 to Ethernet 0 on the control module 1. 2. Connect a network cable from the network switch 0 to Ethernet 1 on the control module 1. 3. Connect a network cable from the network switch 1 to Ethernet 2 on the control module 1. 4. Connect a network cable from the network switch 1 to Ethernet 3 on the control module 1. 5. Connect a network cable from the network switch 1 to Ethernet 0 on the control module 0. 6. Connect a network cable from the network switch 1 to Ethernet 1 on the control module 0. 7. Connect a network cable from the network switch 0 to Ethernet 2 on the control module 0. 8. Connect a network cable from the network switch 0 to Ethernet 3 on the control module 0. 9. Repeat steps 1 to 8 to connect the additional Dell EqualLogic PS6000/PS6100/PS6500 storage array(s) to the iSCSI switches. NOTE: For PS6100 storage array, having all eight cables in steps 1 through 4 provides highest level of cable redundancy. It works fine with only four cables. You can skip either step 1 or 5, either step 2 or 6, either step 3 or 7, and either step 4 or 8. For more information, see the figures below. Figure 15.
