5U84 storage shelf Expansion module
Each Expansion Storage Shelf contains two I/O modules. The modules are labeled
A and B, from left to right as you look at the rear panel of a shelf. Each module has
three SAS3 ports that are labeled A, B, and C from left to right.
A yellow label states that port B is for attachment to a server only. You cannot use
this port without permission and assistance from Veritas Technical Support.
The SAS3 ports connect to the SAS port on each RAID controller on the Primary
Shelf and to other Expansion Shelves.
