Connect the DCS3700 expansion enclosure to controller A:

Connect one end of a SAS cable to the drive expansion port on controller A.

Connect the other end of the SAS cable to one of the In (

↑

) SAS connectors on the ESM located in

SBB slot A in the DCS3700 expansion enclosure.

Connect the DCS3700 expansion enclosure to controller B:

Connect one end of a SAS cable to the drive expansion port on controller B.

Connect the other end of the SAS cable to one of the In (

↑

) SAS connectors on the ESM located in

SBB slot B in the DCS3700 expansion enclosure.
Figure 34 on page 53 shows a DCS3700 storage system configured with a single DCS3700
expansion unit.

To connect the DCS3700 storage system RAID controllers A and B to multiple DCS3700 expansion
enclosures, complete the following steps:

Connect the DCS3700 expansion enclosure to controller A:

Connect one end of a SAS cable to the drive expansion port on controller A.

Connect the other end of the SAS cable to one of the In (

↑

) SAS connectors on the ESM located in

SBB slot A in the first DCS3700 expansion enclosure.

Connect the of the DCS3700 expansion enclosure to the next DCS3700 expansion enclosure in the
chain:

Connect one end of a SAS cable to the Out (

↓

) SAS connector on the ESM located in SBB slot A of

the DCS3700 expansion enclosure that you just connected.

Connect the other end of the SAS cable to one of the In (

↑

) SAS connectors on the ESM located in

SBB slot A in the next DCS3700 expansion enclosure in the chain.

Connect the last DCS3700 expansion enclosure in the chain to controller B:

Connect one end of a SAS cable to the drive expansion port on controller B.

Connect the other end of the SAS cable to one of the In (

↑

) SAS connectors on the ESM located in

SBB slot B in the last DCS3700 expansion enclosures of the chain that you created.

Connect the second DCS3700 expansion enclosure to the first DCS3700 expansion enclosure.

Connect one end of a SAS cable to the Out (

↓

) SAS connector on the ESM located in SBB slot B of

the second DCS3700 expansion enclosure.

Connect the other end of the SAS cable to one of the In (

↑

) SAS connectors on the ESM located in

SBB slot A of the first DCS3700 expansion enclosure.
Figure 35 on page 54 shows a DCS3700 storage system configured with two DCS3700 expansion
units.
