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 When connecting to a SAS 4-port host interface adapter, the blue pull tab must
be above 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.
Procedure

1. Connect the required number of SAS cables. Refer to the “Planning” section of
the Knowledge Center for instructions on determining the number of cables
required.

each host must be connected to both canisters. Both canisters must have the
same number of cables connected.
