SCv3000 and SCv3020 Storage System Deployment Guide
Expansion Enclosure Cabling Guidelines
The connection between a storage system and expansion enclosures is referred to as a SAS chain. A SAS chain is made up of two paths, which are referred to as the A side and B side. Each side of the SAS chain starts at a SAS port on one storage controller and ends at a SAS port the other storage controller.
You can connect multiple expansion enclosures to an SCv3000 and SCv3020 by cabling the expansion enclosures in series. However, the SCv3000 and SCv3020 do not support the cabling of SCv300 and SCv320 expansion enclosures on the same SAS chain as SCv360 expansion enclosures.
