IMPORTANT
When connecting the mini-SAS HD cable connector (plug) into the SAS I/O module ports
(sockets) 0, 1, 2, and 3, be careful of the orientation of the cable end with the port. On the
SAS I/O module, the ports have nubs (or keys). While the cable end has a notch. This
notch aligns with the nub (or key) in the port. On the other side of the cable end is a white
release tab opposite from the cable notch.
To connect, gently slide the cable into the port until you hear a small click aligning the
notch with the nub (or key) in the port. For the SAS I/O module the notch on the cable
aligns with the nub (or key) on the right side of each port. The white release tab should be
on the left side of the port.
Do Not force the cable into the port.
A video describing how to properly connect mini-SAS HD cables and mini-SAS cables to a
DPE and a DAE, respectively, in a VNX product is available online at:
https://edutube.emc.com/, in the Search box, type in Mini-SAS HD Cable Connectivity.
The video will start immediately.
Note: The video does not show an example of the SAS I/O module, but the video does
show how a mini-SAS HD cable connects to a mini-SAS HD port.
