formation. CN1=DEV1
Box0=Slot0
Exp0=phy0
The location information of a disk drive is determined by three types of connections:
• Direct attached drives—The connection is determined by the cable connected to a device, for
example CN1 (connector 1) is connected to DEV1 (device 1). For more information, see Direct-attach
ConnectionsSAS direct-attach connectionsdirect-attach connections .
• Storage Enclosure Processor (SEP) managed devices—The connection is determined by an active
backplane. Box0 (enclosure 0) is connected to slot0 (disk drive slot 0 in the enclosure). For more
information, see
Backplane ConnectionsSAS backplane connectionsbackplane connections .
• Expanders—The connections is determined by an expander. Exp0 (expander 0) is connected to
phy0 (phy 0 within a connector). For more information, see SAS Expander ConnectionsSAS expander
connectionsexpander connections .
Note: Devices other than disk drives (CDROM, tape drives, etc...) are listed in order
after your system disk drives.
