Connecting XR 6500 Storage
The following diagrams illustrate 2-loop and 4-loops connections for XR 6500 series storage assemblies.
Cable your storage exactly as illustrated to ensure proper functionality.
A XR 6500 RAID enclosure supports a maximum of seven XE expansion enclosures. Configurations with
two XR RAID enclosures are not supported.
WARNING Do not power on your storage before installing Linux, otherwise the Red Hat installer might attempt
to format the storage array and use it as the system disk.
