Connecting Smart Array P212 and P411 Controllers to an
MDS600
This example illustrates direct connections from two HP ProLiant DL/ML/SL servers with one Smart Array
P212 and one Smart Array P411 Controller to the SAS port 1 connectors on the MDS600 Primary I/O
modules.
Connect SAS cables from the server to SAS port 1 connectors on the MDS600 Primary I/O modules.
Any one port on the Smart Array P411 Controller can be utilized.
No cables ship with the MDS600. The only supported cable length that can be used is the 2.00m (6.56
ft.) mini-SAS cable.
8x wide SAS cables are not supported.
Always be sure that the servers attached to the MDS600 are powered down before connecting SAS
cables.
