Locate the SAS cables included in the array kit contents.
Remove the tape and end caps from the SAS cables before installing.
Verify that both power switches are off for each disk array enclosure in the rack.
Starting at the enclosure immediately below Ethernet Switch 2810–24G:
1. Connect one end of a SAS cable to RAID controller 0 of the base disk array enclosure. Connect
the other end to SAS input port of expansion controller 0 of expansion disk array enclosure 0.
