Cabling up to two enclosures above and two enclosures
below the head server
In this scenario, the disk enclosure bundled with the head server is installed above the server and is
connected to the RAID controller card in Slot 2. This is the installation that is described in the printed
StoreOnce 5500 Start Here
poster, and is illustrated below.
Within the StoreOnce software this enclosure is identified as Storage Cluster 1 and volume and pool
names have C2 as part of their naming convention, for example: Pool C2_P1 to Pool C2_P6.

NOTE:
The base system of one server and one disk enclosure uses two 0.5 m cables for the drawer inter-
connection and two 2.0 m cables to connect the disk enclosure to the RAID card in PCIe slot 2 of the
server.
Connecting the first additional Capacity Upgrade enclosure (JBOD 2) to
PCIe slot 3
This installation connects directly to the RAID controller card in slot 3 and does not impact upon existing
SAS cabling. It is an online expansion. Within the StoreOnce software this enclosure is identified as
