D.

From the PCIe slot 3 to the frontend InfiniBand switch

Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

When connecting a Dell PowerScale F600 node to the frontend network in an existing cluster with legacy nodes, it's important to follow the correct cabling practices to ensure network compatibility and optimal performance.

The F600 node uses PCIe slot 1 for frontend (client) network connections. This slot supports Ethernet network interfaces that handle client traffic. PCIe slot 3 is typically reserved for backend (cluster interconnect) networking. Since the cluster includes legacy nodes, and assuming they use Ethernet for frontend connectivity, the F600 should connect its frontend network interfaces from PCIe slot 1 to the frontend Ethernet switch.

Connecting the cables from PCIe slot 1 to the frontend Ethernet switch ensures that the F600 node properly communicates with clients and integrates seamlessly into the existing cluster network infrastructure.
