Figure 35 One E5424 Controller-Drive Tray or E5412 Controller-Drive Tray and
Seven or More Drive Trays
NOTE The cabling pattern is independent of the physical location of the trays in the
cabinet. If the controller-drive tray is installed in the middle of the cabinet, as shown
in
Figure 31, the physical cabling pattern will be different from what is shown in
Figure 35, although the topology will be consistent. If the storage array includes
DE6600 drive trays, install those drive trays be
ginning from the bottom of the cabinet
so that the cabinet does not become top-heavy. A top-heavy cabinet has a greater risk
of falling over.
