Page: 66 / 193

Note:

In storage enclosures that are connected to a dual-controller storage subsystem, you must install

the optional second ESM to support dual redundant drive paths, and must use one of the dual-controller
topologies that are described in this section.

One dual-controller DS3500 and one storage enclosure:

To cable one dual-controller DS3500 to one storage enclosure, connect them as shown in Figure 3-25.

One dual-controller DS3500 and two storage enclosures:

To cable one dual-controller DS3500 and two storage enclosures, connect them as shown in Figure 3-26.

One dual-controller DS3500 and up to eight storage enclosures:

To cable one dual-controller DS3500 and up to eight storage enclosures, connect them as shown in
Figure 3-27 on page 3-23.
