Cabling the systems

This section provides information about cabling the system and supported configuration details.

When you are ready to cable your servers and enclosures, use the port numbers described in the section Server and enclosure port numbering along with the cabling diagrams and tables to correctly connect your servers and storage enclosures.
Supported configurations are listed in the following rules and guidelines:
  • Every server has two connections to every enclosure.
  • When using the DSMS 1400 with the DSMS 730, each server must have one SAS HBA for each enclosure (up to four enclosures).
  • When using the DSMS 3060e, for configurations having more than two servers and up to four enclosures, cabling between enclosures (enclosure to enclosure connections) is required at the rear end.
  • A single HBA cannot have multiple connections to the same enclosure.
