| Controller-to-stack cabling worksheets and cabling examples for common HX2000 configurations |

In this example, the controller is installed in slot B of the chassis. When a controller is located in slot B of the

chassis, its internal storage port (0b) is in domain B (IOM B); therefore, port 0b must connect to domain B

(IOM B) in the stack.
