Cabling principle
Applicability
FC RAID Bricks (version 1) can be configured alone or in pairs of
one FC RAID Brick (version 1) and one FC Expansion Brick
(version 1). FC RAID Bricks (version 2) do not support
FC Expansion Bricks.
ALL
FC Expansion Bricks are connected to FC RAID Bricks (version 1)
using the J0, J1, and PNet ports. One FC Expansion Brick is
supported with one FC RAID Brick (version 1). For more
information, see
Pillar Axiom 600 SSF Cabling Reference.

ALL
Table 18: Cabling principles (Brick order in strings)
defines the order in which
different Bricks are placed in the string within a Pillar Axiom 600 system.
Table 18 Cabling principles (Brick order in strings)
Cabling principle
Applicability
The functionality or performance of Bricks is not affected by their
relative position in a Brick string.
ALL
Factory manufacturing practice places SSD Bricks at the head of
string position followed by FC Bricks, and then SATA Bricks.
NEW
When adding Bricks to an existing system, attach the new Brick to
the last Brick on a string.
