Cable the DPE to DAE
Cabling between the DPE and DAEs uses Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) cables. The connectors on
SAS cables have icons indicating the port for each end. The cables connect from ports marked by
diamonds to ports marked by circles . Make sure the cables are installed properly and
connected securely. Cable labels are included in a cable label kit should you wish to attach the
labels to the cables as you install them. Labeling the cables may assist in troubleshooting if a
problem arises in the future.
