a. Insert one SAS cable into the EXP 0 port on the top RAID Controller of the Nexsan Storage
System.
b. Insert the other end of the SAS cable into the EXP IN 0 port on the top Expansion Controller of the
Nexsan Storage Expansion.
c. Repeat steps a and b, connecting the EXP 1 port of the top RAID controller to the EXP IN 1 port
on the top Expansion Controller.
d. Repeat steps a through c to connect the bottom RAID controller to the bottom Expansion
Controller.
CAUTION : RAID Controller 0 MUST be connected to Expansion Controller 0, and RAID
Controller 1 MUST be connected to Expansion Controller 1.
3. Using the supplied power cords, connect each PSU on each Nexsan E32XNexsan E18X BT60X
Nexsan Storage Expansion to main power.
Note While the Nexsan Storage System is powering up, the storage system fans spin up to full speed,
then throttle back. This process is audible and is expected behavior.
4. Wait approximately 5 minutes for the firmware in the Nexsan Storage System to properly configure the
connections to the Nexsan Storage Expansion (or Nexsan Storage Expansions).
5. After 5 minutes, verify through the graphical user interface (GUI) that the Nexsan Storage Expansions
and all of their disk drives are recognized by the Nexsan Storage System and that no errors are
reported.
Note If either of the EXP IN LEDs are flashing amber, you must remove the power cords from the
Nexsan Storage Expansions, correct the cabling (see steps 3 and 4), and then reapply power to the
Storage Expansions. If any
EXP IN LEDs are still flashing amber, contact Technical Support. See
About this manual on page v for phone numbers and e-mail addresses.
