If you installed an optional 1 Gbps iSCSI 4-port host interface adapter, you can use Ethernet cables to connect the system to your Ethernet SAN.
Each
system has two Ethernet ports, port 1 and port 2, that are built
into the canister. When a 4-port Ethernet host interface adapter
is installed, the port number starts at 3.
Note: The Ethernet cables
are connected in pairs. Both canisters must have the same number of
cables connected.
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
- Identify the correct pair of Ethernet cables for the Ethernet ports labeled 3 in the left canister and the right canister.
- Connect the appropriate cable to each port.
- For each additional pair of Ethernet ports in the right and left canisters, identify the correct pair of cables and connect them.

the Ethernet ports on a node canister, as seen from the back of a Lenovo Storage V3700 V2 system.
