What are two supported cabling methods for a NetApp HCI compute node? (Choose two.)
NetApp HCI compute nodes support a variety of cabling configurations to meet different network requirements. Among these, the 1-cable configuration and the 2-cable configuration are both supported methods. The 1-cable setup is utilized for environments where minimal cabling is essential, while the 2-cable configuration provides a balance between simplicity and network performance. There is no indication that a 6-cable or 4-cable configuration is standardly supported for NetApp HCI compute nodes.
You can use a two-cable network configuration for the H300E, H500E, H700E, and H410C compute nodes, simplifying cable routing. This configuration uses two SFP+/SFP28 interfaces plus an optional (but recommended) RJ45 interface for IPMI communication. These nodes can also use a sixcable configuration with two RJ45 and four SFP28/SFP+ interfaces.
