Types of Internal Cables

Private Management Network Cables

Note: If you require additional internal cables, you can order them from Oracle. To find the cable part numbers for ordering purposes, open Oracle System Handbook (https://support.oracle.com/handbook_partner/index.html) and go to the Oracle FS1 Flash Storage System components list. Part numbers are listed in the components list.

The following table lists the types of internal cables and the cable lengths that are used for the Private Management Network.

Table 1 Private management network cables
Cable	Color	Cable path	Cable length	Quantity
Ethernet CAT6a	Blue	Connects the Pilot 1 NET 0 port to the Pilot 2 NET 0 port Connects the Pilot 1 NET 2 port to the Pilot 2 NET MGT port Connects the Pilot 1 NET MGT port to the Pilot 2 NET 2 port	9.84 feet (3 m)	Three
Serial RJ45 rollover	Black	Connects the Pilot 1 SER MGT port to the Pilot 2 SER MGT port	6.6 feet (2 m)	One
Ethernet CAT6a	Red	Connects the NET 1 ports of the Pilots to the NET 3 ports of the Controllers	9.84 feet (3 m)	Two
Ethernet CAT6a	Green	Connects the Controller 1 NET 2 port to the Controller 2 NET 2 port Connects the Controller 1 NET MGT port to the cluster interconnect (< - - - >) port of Controller 2 Connects the cluster interconnect (<- - ->) port of Controller 1 to the Controller 2 NET MGT port	9.84 feet (3 m)	Three

SAS Cables for Connecting the Controllers

The following table lists the type of mini-SAS high density (HD) cable and cable length used to cross-connect the Controllers.

Table 2 Mini-SAS HD cables
Cable	Color	Cable path	Quantity	Cable length
Mini-SAS HD to mini-SAS HD	Black	Connects Controller 1 to Controller 2	Two for a base system with one SAS HBA installed Four for a base system with two SAS HBAs installed Six for a performance system	9.84 feet (3 m)

The following figure shows an example of mini-SAS HD to mini-SAS HD cable connectors.

SAS Cables for Drive Enclosure-to-Controller Connections

The following table lists the types of mini-SAS to mini-SAS HD cables and the lengths of the cables used to connect Drive Enclosures to Controllers.

Table 3 Mini-SAS to mini-SAS HD cables
Cable	Color	Cable path	Quantity	Cable length
Mini-SAS to mini-SAS HD	Black	Connects a Controller to a Drive Enclosure in the same rack	Varies based on the configuration of the system	9.84 feet (3 m)
Mini-SAS to mini-SAS HD	Black	Connects a Controller to a Drive Enclosure that is in a separate rack	Varies based on the configuration of the system	19.69 feet (6 m)

The following figure shows an example of mini-SAS to mini-SAS HD cable connectors. The mini-SAS connector on one end of the cable connects to the Drive Enclosure. The mini-SAS HD connector on the other end of the cable connects to the Controller.

Internal Power Cords

The following table lists the types of power cords and lengths of power cords that connect the hardware components to the power distribution units (PDUs).

Note: The references to PDU 1 and PDU 2 in the following table indicate that the connections are to be made to separate PDUs connected to separate external power sources for system redundancy. The actual number of PDUs in a system can vary.

Table 5 Power cords and PDU connections
Cable	Color	Cable path	Quantity	Cable length
Power (C13 to C14 angled connector)	Black	Connects power cooling module 1 of a Drive Enclosure to PDU 1 Connects power cooling module 2 of a Drive Enclosure to PDU 2	Varies based on the configuration of the system	3.28 feet (1 m)
Power (C13 to C14 straight connectors)	Black	Connects power supply 1 of a Pilot to PDU 1 Connects power supply 2 of a Pilot to PDU 2 Connects power supply 1 of a Controller to PDU 1 Connects power supply 2 of a Controller to PDU 2 Connects power supply 1 of a MaxRep Replication Engine to PDU 1 Connects power supply 2 of a MaxRep Replication Engine to PDU 2	Varies based on the configuration of the system	9.84 feet (3 m)
