Cabling Diagrams
The diagrams in the sections that follow illustrate how to properly connect storage controllers
or cabinets, either in standalone or clustered configurations, to one or more disk shelves or
expansion cabinets. Use the images as a key to understanding how the abstracted diagrams
correspond to actual hardware:

Connecting Expansion Storage to the 7700
Oftentimes, the need to expand storage requires the addition of another HBA to your storage
controller. While in single-head configurations, this is not possible to do without disrupting
service. In a clustered configuration, the heads can be powered down individually for servicing
and reconnected to the new storage chain. For instructions, refer to the following sections of the
