Ethernet switches
In addition to the Fibre Channel switches installed in each disk enclosure, the DS8000 base
frame contains two 16-port Ethernet switches. Two switches are supplied to allow the
creation of a fully redundant management network. Each processor complex has multiple
connections to each switch. This is to allow each server to access each switch. This switch
cannot be used for any equipment not associated with the DS8000. The switches get power
from the internal power bus and thus do not require separate power outlets.
