Connecting the SCSI cables
To connect the MSA to the storage enclosures, use standard VHDCI SCSI cables included in the
shipping carton with each storage enclosure.
Recommended SCSI cable connections
HP recommends installing additional SCSI I/O modules and connecting storage enclosures in the
same sequence as the pre-assigned box numbers, as illustrated in Figure 2.
