SAS cabling configurations
The following sections provide the typical supported SAS cabling configurations. Many configurations can
be constructed that are not supported and will either not function correctly or generates errors. To avoid
problems, restrict cabling to only the general types of configurations that are shown in the following
sections.

availability (HA) mode (dual storage adapter configuration)” on page 118
SAS adapter to media expansion drawer
Figure 40 on page 116 illustrates connecting a SAS adapter to a media expansion drawer. It is also
possible to connect a second media expansion drawer to the second port of the SAS adapter.
