Ethernet cables
The DS3300 supports industry-standard Category 5e and Category 6 shielded and
unshielded Ethernet cables for all iSCSI data ports and the management port.
To avoid damage or data transmission problems, consider the following precautions:
v
When you route the cable along a folding cable-management arm, leave enough
slack in the cable.
v
Route the cable away from places where it can be damaged by other devices in
the rack cabinet.
v Do not put excess weight on the cable at the connection point. Make sure that
the cable is well supported.
v
Do not route the cable parallel to power cables, unless you are using shielded
cables.
Working with SAS cables
Each DS3300 RAID controller has one x4 multilane SAS port for connecting to drive
expansion enclosures.
Use a 1M or 3M (1-meter or 3-meter) SAS cable with a mini-SAS 4x multilane SAS
connector on each end to connect a controller host port to a host HBA and to
connect the drive expansion port to a storage expansion enclosure.
The following illustration shows the 1M and 3M mini-SAS cable.
The 1M and 3M SAS cables have a universal key connector that enables the cable
to be used in all mini-SAS ports.
