The Ethernet switches described in this section are all back-end switches. You are responsible for providing front-end network connectivity to the HCP G11 Nodes and optional S10 Nodes. When you rack the Ethernet switches, the Ethernet switches need to be installed facing the back of the racks. When mounting a pair of switches, mount the lower one first and the upper one second.
Note: When racking and mounting switches, this manual assumes you are using M5 caged nuts and screws. If you intend to use a different type of caged nut or screw, provide your own variant for the procedure.
There are five possible back-end Ethernet switches that can be ordered with an HCP system.
