Cabling requirements
Figure 2 shows how to cable the R940 server, the Fibre Channel (FC) switches, and the SC9000 storage
array.
Port 1 on each host bus adapter (HBA) in the server and ports 1 and 2 on each HBA in the SC9000 should be
connected to the same Brocade 6505 switch. Port 2 on each HBA in the server and ports 3 and 4 on each
HBA in the SC9000 should be connected to the other Brocade 6505 switch.
