General ACP cabling rules apply to all supported storage
systems using SAS storage.
You must use CAT6 Ethernet
cables with RJ-45 connectors for ACP connections.
ACP is supported up to 100 meters (per Ethernet standard).
If your storage system
does not have a dedicated onboard network interface for each controller,
you must dedicate one for each controller at system setup.
You
can use a quad-port Ethernet card.
All ACP connections to
the disk shelf are cabled through the ACP ports, which are designated
by a square symbol or a circle symbol.
