Chapter 3. Cabling the storage subsystem and storage
enclosure
This chapter provides information and instructions for cabling the DS3500 storage subsystem and the
EXP3500 storage enclosure. To cable the DS3500 storage subsystem, see “Cabling the DS3500 storage
subsystem.” To cable the EXP3500 storage enclosure, see “Cabling the EXP3500 storage enclosure” on
page 3-15.
Cabling the DS3500 storage subsystem
The section provides information and instructions for cabling the DS3500 storage subsystem. After the
storage subsystem is installed in its permanent location, you must cable it to hosts, drives, and other
external devices, depending on your hardware configuration.
Controller connectors (with Fibre Channel host port adapters)
Figure 3-1 shows the optional Fibre Channel host port adapter installed in both controllers at the rear of
the DS3500 storage subsystem.
Fibre Channel host ports
Each Fibre Channel host port supports a small-form-factor pluggable (SFP) transceiver and is
capable of operating at 8 Gbps, 4 Gbps, or 2 Gbps.
Drive expansion port
The drive expansion port is a x4 multilane SAS port. Connect a SAS cable to this port and to a
drive storage enclosure.
Controller connectors (with 1 Gbps iSCSI host port adapters)
Figure 3-2 on page 3-2 shows the optional 1 Gbps iSCSI host port adapter installed in both controllers at
the rear of the DS3500 storage subsystem.
