HP EVA P6000 Reference Guide

0CxD expansion rack requirements
• One existing 2CxD main rack containing a properly wired controller pair and disk enclosures.
The controllers may be above or in the middle of the disk enclosures, depending on the number
of disk enclosures and how the rack was initially configured. Figure 1 (page 5) shows typical
rack configurations for the P6300 EVA and P6500 EVA.
• The main rack must be running properly.
• A new 0CxD expansion rack containing properly wired disk enclosures. Figure 2 (page 6)
is an example only, showing four disk enclosures and assuming there are six disk enclosures
in the main rack.
