DD6300, DD6800 and DD9300 cabling
There are a few rules that must be followed when adding a mixture of DS60 and other
shelf types to your system.
If a system does not follow all these rules, it is not a legitimate configuration.
Prerequisites:
l
You cannot exceed the maximum amount of raw capacity displayed in cabling table
for each system.
l
You cannot exceed the maximum number of shelves displayed in cabling table for
each system.
l
You cannot connect more than three DS60 shelves in a single set.
