Do the following if you have two Expansion shelves.

■

Connect one end of the two SAS3 cables to the SAS3 port on the left hand
side of each RAID controller in the Primary shelf.

■

Connect the other end of the SAS3 cable in RAID controller A to port A in
the nearest Expansion shelf I/O module on the left side of the shelf.

■

Connect the other end of the SAS3 cable in RAID controller B to port A in
the right-hand I/O module in the lower Expansion shelf.
