For 19-inch Racks (for GS, 1800mm) with Mainframe Connections
This section explains how the frontend cables should be used and how many frontend cables are required ac-
cording to the cable length.
This section describes the connection application when a rack for an ETERNUS DX is used.
The required cables may differ depending on the racks that are used.
The installation location for each enclosure differs depending on the number of controller enclosures and the
number of drive enclosures on a single node. The required cable length changes since the distance between the
frontend enclosure and the controller enclosure is proportional to the number of controller enclosures, and the
number of drive enclosures on a single node.
In this section, the frontend enclosure is referred to as "FE", the controller enclosure is referred to as "CE", and the
drive enclosure is referred to as "DE".
