This chapter provides instructions on how to cable your system hardware for a cluster
configuration.
NOTE: The Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) slot placement for the network
interface controllers (NICs), host bus adapters, and redundant arrays of independent
disks (RAID) controllers in the illustrations for this chapter are examples only. See
Appendix A, “Upgrading to a Cluster Configuration,” for specific recommendations
for placing PCI expansion cards in your nodes.

The Dell PowerEdge Cluster FE100 consists of two PowerEdge 6300, 6350, or 4300
server systems and one PowerVault 65
x
F storage system. These components are
interconnected with the following cables:
A copper or optical fiber cable connects the QLogic host bus adapter(s) in each
PowerEdge system to the PowerVault 65
x
F storage system.
—
For QLogic QLA-2100 host bus adapters:
A copper cable containing a high-
speed serial data connector (HSSDC) on one end and a DB-9 connector on
the other connects the host bus adapter to the storage processor.
—
For QLogic QLA-2100F host bus adapters:
An optical fiber cable containing
SC connectors on each end connects the host bus adapter to a media inter-
face adapter (MIA) attached to the storage processor.
If you are using Disk-Array Enclosures (DAEs) with your PowerVault system,
0.3-meter (m) serial cables with DB-9–to–DB-9 connectors are required to con-
nect the storage processors with DAE(s).
NOTE: Do not connect an unused interface cable to a DAE’s link control card (LCC)
port. Unnecessary connections can add excess noise to the system’s signal loop.
A crossover Category 5 Ethernet cable connects the NICs in each PowerEdge
system.
Power cables are connected according to the safety requirements for your
region. Contact your Dell sales representative for specific power cabling and dis-
tribution requirements for your region.
