Chapter 4: Drive Connection 73
The following table specifies the cabling pattern for a controller tray that is attached
to one to four drive trays. The “Cable” column indicates that two cables are used for
each drive tray. In the rows for cable 1 and cable 2, for example, the “Xs” indicate
that the cables are connected to controller A, channel 1, port 8 and controller B,
channel 5, port 1 respectively. The “Bs” in these rows indicate that the other ends of
cable 1 and cable 2 are connected to port 1B of the left ESM (ESM A) and port 1B of
the right ESM (ESM B) of drive tray 1 respectively. This pattern continues, using
even-numbered ports on controller A and odd-numbered ports on controller B for the
first four drive traydrive trays.
