Cabling for Daisy Chaining
Note:
The CMA should be installed before installing cabling.
Step 1 :
Choose a configuration from the
sections. The configuration choice should be made
based on the number of hosts being connected to the enclosure, the number of HBAs in each
host, and how many enclosures will be daisy chained together.
Step 2 :
Cable the lower CMA.
a.
Unlatch the elbow side of the CMA arm and swing it forward by pressing the blue button
that says “push” to unlatch it.
b.
Gather the SAS cables, one power cable, and one Ethernet cable to install in the left
hand side.
