Connecting additional DAEs to your VNX system
After installing the additional DAE components into the cabinet, connect these additional
DAEs to the VNX system.
Connect SAS DPE and DAE cables
In this example, two DAEs are being added. This example illustrates connecting one DAE
to each of the ports available on the DPE. Each DAE has two Link Control Cards (LCC),
designated A or B, as shown in Disk-array enclosure types on page 32.
Note
The cables between the DPE ports and LCC ports on DAEs are 2-meter mini-SAS HD to
mini-SAS.
EMC provides a cable installation educational video entitled Mini-SAS HD Cable
