NOTE: Ports 0 and 1 of the 4-port card are reserved for the cluster network with all PowerStore T model appliances. If deploying PowerStore a 500T model appliance ports 2 and 3 of the 4-port card are reserved for connectivity to the 24 Drive 2.5 Inch NVMe (ENS24) expansion enclosures. As demonstrated in the diagram, when cabling the nodes to the ToR switches the bottom node (A), and the top node (B) must be cabled to opposite switches. 2 1 Figure 26. Cable the additional port 1. Connect Port 1 in I/O Module 0 of the bottom Node A to Port 6 of the bottom Switch (1). 2. Connect Port 1 in I/O Module 0 of the top Node B, to Port 49 of the top Switch (2). Configure the VLAN on the ToR switches The following steps provide an example of configuring VLANs on two Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches. You can cable the PowerStore T model appliance nodes to the switches before or after you perform these steps. For steps, see Cable the nodes to the ToR switches. You can skip this step if you have already configured the additional ToR switch ports with the VLAN on which the iSCSI storage network was created.

Configure the VLAN on the ToR switches
The following steps provide an example of configuring VLANs on two Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack (ToR)
switches.
You can cable the PowerStore T model appliance nodes to the switches before or after you perform these steps. For steps, see
Cable the nodes to the ToR switches
.
You can skip this step if you have already configured the additional ToR switch ports with the VLAN on which the iSCSI storage
network was created.
