Hardware Installation and Cabling Checklist

Language:

Order	Procedure	Description
1.	Mount the compute nodes and storage array in a rack, if necessary.	See Installing the MiniCluster.
2.	Connect to the NET MGT port.	You must connect to the NET MGT port as part of the software configuration process. Connect a Category 5 (or better) RJ-45 cable from the NET MGT ports on both compute nodes to your network switch or hub. See Connect the Management Network.
3.	Connect the 10GbE client access network.	Connect from both compute nodes to the 10GbE client access network through either: 10GbE NIC installed in PCIe slot 1 in each compute node NET 2 and NET 3 ports on the compute nodes See Connect the 10GbE Client Access Network.
4.	Connect the 10GbE private network.	The 10GbE private network transfers data between the two compute nodes. It is also used for the RAC interconnect when Oracle RAC is installed on the MiniCluster. Connect the NET 0 and NET 1 ports from one compute node to the other compute node. See Connect the 10GbE Private Network.
5.	Connect the storage arrays to the compute nodes.	Connect the storage arrays to the compute nodes using: SAS cards installed in PCIe slots 2 and 3 in the compute nodes I/O modules in the storage arrays See Connect the Base Storage Array to the Compute Nodes and Connect Additional Storage Arrays to the Compute Nodes.
6.	Connect to the SER MGT port.	Connect to the SER MGT port to assign a static IP address to the NET MGT port. Connect a Category 5 (or better) RJ-45 cable from the SER MGT port on compute node 1 to a terminal device. See Connect the SER MGT Cable.
7.	Connect the power cords and power on the storage array and two compute nodes.	For the storage array, plug the power cords to the two power supplies, and push the on/off switches on both power supplies to the on (I) position. For the two compute nodes, plug the power cords to the two power supplies. Power on the compute nodes by either pressing the System Power buttons on both compute nodes or entering `start /SYSTEM` at the ILOM prompt. See Powering On MiniCluster for the First Time.
