Installing the enclosures
Connecting controller and MSA2000 3.5 12-drive enclosures
You can connect up to four MSA2000 3.5 12-drive enclosures to an MSA2312fc and up to three
MSA2000 3.5 12-drive enclosures to an MSA2324fc. The cabling diagrams shown in this section show the
recommended fault-tolerant cabling patterns.
IMPORTANT:
Connecting an MSA2000 3.5 12-drive enclosure to an MSA2312fc or MSA2324fc requires
mini SAS to SAS cables.
IMPORTANT:
Adding a fourth drive enclosure to an MSA2312fc may require a separate, longer cable.
Check the QuickSpecs for an updated list of supported cables. QuickSpecs can be found from your HP
MSA products page at
http://www.hp.com/go/msa
. Select MSA SAN Arrays, and then select your
product. The link for QuickSpecs will be on the right.
IMPORTANT:
The MSA2324fc can also be attached to an MSA70 that is running firmware version 2.18 or
later. For information about the MSA70, see the
HP StorageWorks 70 Modular Smart Array Enclosure user
guide
located on the
MSA2000 Software Support/Documentation CD
shipped with your product or at
http://hp.com/support/manuals
.
When connecting multiple drive enclosures, use reverse cabling to ensure the highest level of fault
tolerance. Controllers and I/O (expansion) modules are identified by
<enclosure-ID><controller-ID>
. For example,
Figure 3
shows controller 1A connected to I/O
module 2A, and the chain of connections continuing down. Controller 1B is connected to the lower
module (B) of the last drive enclosure in the chain, with connections moving in the opposite direction.
NOTE:
For clarity, the schematic illustrations of the controllers shown in this section show only relevant
details such as expansion ports. For detailed illustrations showing all components, see
