The connection to the server is fiber connection, multi mode transceiver will be used between the SAN and physical server since the Distance is is a short one, the other switch will be used for connecting servers together,

Hi There,
Kindly confirm the exact HP switch model that would be used to connect to the server.
Are all the switches stated in the excel sheet going to be used to connect to the servers?

All switch will be used yes, I will send the diagram later today, I am at work now, I already sent the switch details, I believe it was 24 port 2920 giga bit switch,
Hi There,
There were multiple 2920's mentioned in the same.
The below guide is a quick overview of these models:
http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04111401.pdf
It states that these modules provide up to four optional 10 Gigabit ports (SFP+ and/or 10GBASE-T) only.

DAC cables may have been intended for LAN to server's Ethernet ports rather than for iSCSI then, you'd best check with whoever compiled the BOM.

Hi
Attached diagram, please some one explain in simple way the configuration and if it is possible or not ?

Does it look like a standard ethernet port? If it does, then the network cards will likely step down to 1GB ethernet when connected to the switches. If not, does your switches have SFP module slots available? If so, then you could probably get a couple 10GB optical SFPs and plug your switches into those.
