Reverse Cabling
Because the ETERNUS DX uses reverse cabling connections for data transfer paths between controllers and
drives, continued access is ensured even if a failure occurs in a drive enclosure.
If a drive enclosure fails for any reason, access to drives that are connected after the failed drive can be main-
tained because normal access paths are secured by using reverse cabling.
