Installing a control enclosure and one or more expansion
enclosures
If you are installing a control enclosure and one or more expansion enclosures,
follow these guidelines:
v Verify that the Flex System power and environmental requirements have been
met.
v Consider the amount of space available in the Flex System chassis and the
length of SAS cables required to connect all enclosures. See Planning for SAS
cabling to expansion enclosures for information on SAS cable length required.
v Type 4939 expansion enclosures must be installed in the same chassis as the
control enclosure.
Note: A system might include a combination of type 4939 and type 2076
expansion enclosures. Type 2076 expansion enclosures are installed in a rack that
is external to the Flex System chassis. They are connected at the end of the
chain.
v The first type 4939 expansion enclosure must be installed adjacent to the control
enclosure. Likewise, install each additional type 4939 expansion enclosure
adjacent to the previous enclosure.
v You can have no more than nine expansion enclosures attached to control
enclosure.
