Enclosure #2 and Enclosure #4 are in Storage Cluster 2, connected to the RAID controller card in slot 3.
Factory-integrated SAS cabling configuration
There is a third option, the factory-integrated option, where the customer orders a system that is prebuilt
by HPE into a rack. This installation has specific shipping requirements to keep the mass of the rack as
low as possible while in transit. The server is at the lowest level and the four enclosures are installed
above the server. The 1U shelf is located above the server to protect it from the weight of the disk
enclosures. HPE does not anticipate the customer altering the layout of the factory–integrated option.
If neither of the recommended options are feasible, the factory-integrated option is also a viable option for
self-installing customers. The same cabling guidelines apply for this configuration as with the two
recommended customer self-install configurations. Contact HPE Support for further cabling details, if
necessary.
