Cabling Your Cluster Hardware

 

NOTE: 

To configure Dell blade server modules in a Dell™ PowerEdge™ cluster, see 

the Using Dell Blade Servers in a Dell PowerEdge High Availability Cluster 
document located on the Dell Support website at 

support.dell.com/manuals.

Cabling the Mouse, Keyboard, and Monitor

When installing a cluster configuration in a rack, you must include a switch 
box to connect the mouse, keyboard, and monitor to the nodes. See the 
documentation included with your rack for instructions on cabling each 
node’s connections to the switch box.

Cabling the Power Supplies

Refer to the documentation for each component in your cluster solution to 
ensure that the specific power requirements are satisfied.

The following guidelines are recommended to protect your cluster solution 
from power-related failures:

•

For nodes with multiple power supplies, plug each power supply into a 
separate AC circuit.

•

Use uninterruptible power supplies (UPS).

•

For some environments, consider having backup generators and power 
from separate electrical substations.

Figure 2-1, and Figure 2-2 illustrate recommended methods for power cabling 
for a cluster solution consisting of two PowerEdge systems and two storage 
systems. To ensure redundancy, the primary power supplies of all the 
components are grouped onto one or two circuits and the redundant power 
supplies are grouped onto a different circuit.
