Cabling to the 4U 60 drive DAE and the 3U 120 drive DAE are not shown because they
are not customer-installable.
For steps 2 on page 42 through 5 on page 42, connect the following cables from
the SAS ports of the DPE to the LCC ports marked with double circles ( ) on the DAEs.
The cable ends to the LCC are marked with single circles ( ) on the cable connectors
as shown in Figure 17 on page 41. Ensure that the cables lock into place.

Identify the cables by the cable labels and the connectors. The cables and ports are
not colored. Bus 0 is identified with orange labels. Bus 1 uses blue labels.
Additional DAEs, up to the system maximum, can be added by extending the loop,
connecting cables from LCC A and B of a DAE ( ) to the appropriate LCC ports ( ) of
an additional DAE. Cables from DAE to DAE on these loops are mini-SAS to mini-SAS
