Table 21 provides a list of the drive channels that are associated with each of the
controller drive ports.

Note: In the following drive cabling figures, the DS5100 and DS5300 graphics are
simplified to show only the drive ports of each controller. In addition, the
storage expansion enclosures are simplified to show only the ESM FC ports.
The following sections show some of the supported cabling configurations.
