Scenario 2
Connecting high-density disk enclosures
16
Connect two high-density disk enclosures using mini SAS HD electrical cables. The cables must be naturally
bent, and a minimum of 97 mm (3.82 inches) clearance must be reserved in front of each enclosure for winding
cables.
Standard and high-density disk enclosures cannot be connected to one expansion loop.
Each expansion loop of high-density disk enclosures must be connected to two adjacent ports (excluding ports
P1 and P2) of the 12 Gbit/s SAS interface module on a controller enclosure, for example, ports P0 and P1 or ports
P2 and P3.
