2. To create drive channel 5, connect drive port 1 of controller B to enclosure 1 (2).
One DS5100 and DS5300 and two EXP5000 storage expansion
enclosures
Figure 52 shows the cabling scheme for one DS5100 and DS5300 and two
EXP5000 storage expansion enclosures.
Perform the following steps to connect two EXP5000 storage expansion enclosures
to one DS5100 and DS5300:
1. Connect port 8 of drive channel 1 on the DS5100 and DS5300 to port 1B on the
left ESM of the first EXP5000 (1).
2. Connect port 1 of drive channel 5 on the DS5100 and DS5300 to port 1B on the
right ESM of the first EXP5000 (1).
3. Connect port 6 of drive channel 2 on the DS5100 and DS5300 to port 1B on the
left ESM of the second EXP5000 (2).
4. Connect port 3 of drive channel 6 on the DS5100 and DS5300 to port 1B on the
right ESM of the second EXP5000 (2).
