About this task
Two types of SAS cables are used for host attachment, depending on the
requirements of the host.
v Mini SAS HD to Mini SAS HD (Figure 23)
v Mini SAS HD to Mini SAS (Figure 24)
Note: When inserting SAS cables, make sure that the connector is oriented
correctly.
v When connecting to the SAS ports on the left side of the node canister, the blue
pull tab must be below the connector.
v Insert the connector gently until it clicks into place. If you feel resistance, the
connector is probably oriented the wrong way. Do not force it.
v When inserted correctly, the connector can only be removed by pulling the tab.
