Chapter 1: Cabling Concepts and Best Practices 13
Best Practices This section explains recommended practices. To make sure that your cabling
topology results in optimal performance and reliability, familiarize yourself with
these best practices.
NOTE If your existing storage array cabling do not comply with the best practices
described in this section, do not re-attach your storage array unless specifically
requested to do so by your Technical Support representative.
Drive Cabling for
Redundancy
When attaching the drive trays, use a cabling topology that does not create a single
point of failure. A single point of failure might appear as a drive tray failure or
another component failure in the middle of a grouping of drive trays. If a drive tray
fails, you can no longer access the drive trays beyond the point of failure. By creating
an alternate path, you make sure that the drive trays are accessible in the event of a
drive tray failure.
