Note:
Both RackStation units of the HA cluster must be connected to the network
in the identical way. For example, if you connect two LAN cables to the ports of
LAN 1 and LAN 3 on a RackStation, you have to connect two LAN cables to the
ports of LAN 1 and LAN 3 on the other RackStation to the network too.
