Drive Enclosure SAS Wiring Diagrams
The following wiring diagrams show the cabling of Drive Enclosures for one
complete string in a system. The same cabling paern applies to all of the strings
in a system. Remember to distribute Drive Enclosures among the strings so that
all of the available SAS HBA ports designated for Drive Enclosures are used as
equally as possible.
Note: The following wiring diagrams show DE2-24P Drive Enclosures. Note the
position of the SAS ports and the reverse orientation of the two I/O modules on
the DE2-24P Drive Enclosures. Conversely, the two I/O modules on the DE2-24C
Drive Enclosures have an identical orientation. Remember the orientation of the
I/O modules and the location of the SAS ports as you cable the system.
The following gure illustrates the SAS cabling for one Drive Enclosure string
containing one Drive Enclosure.
Figure 85: SAS wiring diagram for one string with one Drive Enclosure
The following gure illustrates the SAS cabling in a system that is congured
with one Drive Enclosure string containing two Drive Enclosures. The same
cabling paern applies to all of the strings in a system. Remember to distribute
Drive Enclosures among the strings so that all of the available SAS HBA ports
designated for Drive Enclosures are used as equally as possible.
