NetBackup 5330 cables and connectors

The following types of cables and connectors are provided:

  • Power cords that connect each device to AC power distribution units (PDUs) in the rack.

    Note:

    A 220VAC power supply is required for the Primary Storage Shelf and the Expansion Storage Shelf. The NetBackup 5330 compute node can accommodate a 120VAC or 220VAC input power supply.

    The following list provides the voltages of the power connectors for the compute node and storage shelves. The green pin denotes the ground.

    The compute node uses the following outlet (C-13) and inlet (C-14) connectors.

    These connectors are rated for the following:

    • Voltage: 125 - 250 VAC

    • Current: 15A

    The storage shelves use the following outlet (C-19) and inlet (C-14) connectors.

    These connectors are rated for the following:

    • Voltage and current: 200 - 240 VAC, 15A

    • The storage shelves only operate at 200 - 240 VAC.

  • Ethernet cables that connect the two nodes in a high availability (HA) configuration.

  • Fibre Channel (FC) cables that connect the compute node to the Primary Storage Shelf.

  • SA2S cables that connect the Primary Storage Shelf to the Expansion Storage Shelf and that connect Expansion Shelves to each other.

  • Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) modules for FC and 10GbE ports.

    SFPs are factory-installed in the cards in the PCIe risers.

    Two SFPs are provided for use with the 10GbE ports on the rear panel of the compute node.

You may need to obtain the following types of cables depending on the I/O configuration of your compute node:

  • Ethernet cables between the 1Gb Ethernet and the 10Gb Ethernet ports on the compute node rear panel and your network.

  • Ethernet cable between the Intelligent Program Management Interface (IPMI) port on the compute node rear panel and your network for remote access.

  • Additional FC cables between the 8Gb FC HBA ports on the compute node rear panel and your network for connection to tape or other devices.
