EMC Rails and Enclosures (CX3-10 Class and CX3-20 Class Storage Systems) Field Installation Guide
Setting up an installed storage system
Setting up an installed storage system
Once your enclosures and SPS units are properly installed in a 
cabinet, follow the remaining steps in this document to: 
◆ Connect the DAE3P-OS in a back-end bus (loop)
◆ Connect AC power
Connecting the DAE3P-OS to the SPE3
CX3-10 and CX3-20 class SPE3s support a single redundant Fibre 
Channel back-end bus (0) that links the storage processors to disks in 
the system. The two independent loops from SP A and SP B are 
paired, and share access to the same dual-port disk drives.
The back-end (BE) port on each SP connects to the corresponding 
primary (PRI) port on the first DAE3P in the loop. The first disk 
enclosure must include the specially marked "array software" disks, 
and is assigned enclosure address 0. SP A connects to the PRI port on 
LCC A, SP B connects to LCC B, as shown in Figure 18
.
