Server and enclosure port numbering

The following figures show the enumeration of the ports on the HBAs within the server.
Figure 1. Rear view of DSMS 630 server showing location of HBA ports This image shows rear view of DSMS 630 server showing location of HBA ports.
Figure 2. Rear view of DSMS 730 server showing location of HBA ports This image shows the rear view of DSMS 730 server showing location of HBA ports.
  • NOTE: Dell does not support having HBAs located in the lower two, full-height, PCI slots (slots 5 and 7).
The following figures show the enumeration of the ports on the HBAs within the storage enclosure.
Figure 3. Rear view of DSMS 3060e storage enclosure showing location of HBA ports This image shows rear view of DSMS 3060e storage enclosure showing location of HBA ports.
Figure 4. Rear view of DSMS 1400 series storage enclosure showing location of HBA ports This image shows rear view of DSMS 1400 series storage enclosure showing location of HBA ports.
Use these figures as a point of reference when cabling the storage enclosures to the servers. The SAS HBAs installed in the servers in your solution may not always match the figures displayed here. However, the same cabling guidance is applicable.
  • NOTE: When you view the back of a server, HBA ports are numbered left to right, and then top to bottom.
