About HPE Synergy Cabling

The HPE Synergy Cabling Guide provides step-through cabling examples. Depending on your configuration, cabling and appliance placement might be different.

For configuration and compatibility information, see the HPE Synergy Configuration and Compatibility Guide on the HPE Enterprise Library (http://www.hpe.com/synergy-docs).

Cabling examples in this guide are for a first-time setup. If you are migrating HPE Synergy hardware, see the HPE Synergy Migration Guide (http://www.hpe.com/synergy-docs).

  • Management network cabling

    Cabling the management network includes cabling the frame link module LINK ports together to form a management ring (frame link topology) and cabling two frame link module MGMT ports to the management network.

  • HPE Synergy Image Streamer cabling

    Cabling for HPE Synergy Image Streamer OS deployment includes management cabling, HPE Synergy Image Streamer cabling, and interconnect cabling. HPE Synergy 12000 frames with HPE Synergy Image Streamer installed use each MGMT port in the frame for OS deployment. When HPE Synergy Image Streamer is installed in a frame, the MGMT ports are automatically dedicated to OS deployment and cannot be used for management network connectivity.

  • Interconnect module cabling

    HPE Synergy supports a composable fabric that spans multiple frames and includes master interconnect modules (switches) and satellite modules (links).

  • Power cabling

    HPE Synergy power cabling includes cabling multiple frames for power feed redundant power, cabling power supplies for power feed redundancy, and power cabling for both a single frame and multiple frame configurations.

  • HPE Synergy Console cabling

    Direct connections to the HPE Synergy Console are possible by connecting a laptop directly to a frame through the front panel or by connecting KVM to the frame link module.
