Things to Know – Drive Tray Cabling Configurations – Simplex System
The following figure shows an example of cable configurations from the simplex E2600 controller-drive tray to
either a DE1600 drive tray or a DE5600 drive tray. Use this example as a guide to connect cables in your storage
array.
NOTE You can use either SAS IN connector on a drive tray for cabling.
NOTE Configurations for connecting cables in a simplex system do not provide for tray loss protection. Loss of a
drive tray that has a second drive tray connected to it means that you cannot access the second drive tray.
