Connecting Ethernet cables To connect the MSA1510i to the network switch, use qualified Category 5e (or better) Ethernet cables. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the first connection to the network switch is from port 0 (top port) of the primary Ethernet iSCSI module. This port is configured to carry both management and iSCSI storage traffic. NOTE: To obtain 1000BaseT performance from the MSA1510i, use 1000BaseT Ethernet NICs, 1000BaseT network switches, and connect the devices using Category 5e or better qualified Ethernet cables. 100BaseT devices and cables in the network cause the MSA1510i to reduce its performance level to that of the slowest network component.
