Multipath HA with four onboard SAS ports and two single-shelf stacks

The following worksheet and cabling example uses port pairs 0a/0d and 0c/0b: 

Multipath HA with four onboard SAS ports, a quad-port SAS HBA, and two multi-shelf stacks

Four port pairs are available for this configuration: 0a/1b, 1a/0d, 0c/1d, and 1c/0b. You can cable port pairs 
in the order in which they are identified (listed in the worksheet) or you can cable every other port pair (skip 
port pairs). 

Note:

When you have more port pairs than you need to cable the stacks in your system, the best practice is 

to skip port pairs to optimize the SAS ports on your system. By optimizing SAS ports, you optimize your 
system's performance.
