The following are the types of cables that you can use with the D3000 disk enclosures:
• External 0.5m (1ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable
• External 1.0m (3ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable
• External 2.0m (6ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable
• External 4.0m (13ft) Mini SAS HD 4x to Mini SAS HD 4x Cable
The following are the types of cables that you can use with the D2000/D6000 disk enclosures:
• 0.5m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable
• 1.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable
• 2.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable
• 4.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable
• 6.0m External Mini SAS High Density to Mini SAS Cable
When connecting disk enclosures to the StoreEasy system, consider the following guidelines:
• In a single domain configuration, the secondary I/O modules on the D6000 are not used, so they might
or might not be installed. The cabling diagrams in this section show the secondary I/O modules are not
installed.
• For single domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by the P441 or
P841 controller are 1 D6000, 8 D2000s, or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).
• For dual domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by the P441
controller are 8 D2000 or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).
• For dual domain configurations, the maximum number of disk enclosures supported by the P841
controller are 1 D6000, 8 D2000s, or 8 D3000s (up to 200 drives total).
NOTE:
◦ The maximums listed are based on the number of drives per controller. Any StoreEasy system
could have additional or alternate controllers installed, which would affect the overall number of
supported disk enclosures. The maximum number of enclosures that can be connected to a
controller is eight.
◦ The P441 or P841 controllers support:
– Up to 200 physical drives.
– D2000 and D3000 disk enclosures; up to eight daisy chained in either single or dual domain
configuration.
– D6000 disk enclosure. Only one D6000 enclosure can be connected. Daisy chaining is not
supported.
• In the cabling diagrams for the D2000/D3000 disk enclosure, the D2600 disk enclosure is used. Be
aware that the cabling configuration is exactly the same for all D2000/D3000 disk enclosures.
• The D6000 disk enclosure does not support the use of SAS daisy chains; the D2000/D3000 disk
enclosures supports SAS daisy chains. In a SAS daisy chain, the D2000/D3000 disk enclosures are
6
