Drive tray cabling topologies for the E2760 controller-drive tray
This section provides examples of drive tray cabling topologies for the E2760 controller-drive tray.
The E2760 controller-drive tray can be cabled only to DE6600 drive trays. The total number of drives
in the storage array, including the drives in the controller-drive tray and those in the drive trays, must
not exceed 192.
Depending on the number of drive trays that you need to connect, see the applicable figure for a
cabling topology. Each example shows a duplex controller-drive tray configuration with redundant
paths to the drive trays.
Caution:
Risk of bodily injury – An empty tray weighs approximately 56.7 kg (125 lb). Three
persons are required to safely move an empty tray. If the tray is populated with components, a
mechanized lift is required to safely move the tray.
Note:
Install trays beginning from the bottom of the cabinet so that the cabinet does not become
top-heavy. A top-heavy cabinet has a greater risk of falling over.
The following figures show the SAS ports on a DE6600 drive tray. You can connect any of the SAS
ports to the SAS Expansion port on another drive tray or on a controller-drive tray.
