Step 7. Connecting the SAS cables to expansion enclosures
About this task
This task applies if you are connecting SAS cables to one or more type 4939 or
type 2076 expansion enclosures.
Note: The enclosure terminology that is used in this topic is described fully in
“Step 2. Identifying the hardware components” on page 4.
Be aware of these guidelines when you begin to connect the cables to the
expansion enclosure SAS ports:
v All 4939 enclosures must be in the same chassis. The first 4939 expansion
enclosure must be located adjacent to the control enclosure. Each additional 4939
expansion enclosure must be located adjacent to the previous expansion
enclosure.
v You can have no more than nine expansion enclosures attached to the control
enclosure.
Note: A system might include a combination of type 4939 and type 2076
expansion enclosures. The 2076 expansion enclosures are connected at the end of
the chain.
