Active Cables
When daisy-chaining multiple Ultrastar Data60 enclosures together, active cables must be used between
enclosures for improved signal integrity.
Passive Cabling
As a best practice, Western Digital requires connecting the cables to every other SAS connector port when
connecting more than one host per IOM. Please refer to Table 22: Recommended IOM Port Connection
Order (page 21) for port connection ordering required for IOMA and IOMB:
6. Passive cables should only be used for direct (host-to-enclosure) connections.
