ports in this order: 19, 8, 18, 7, 17, 6, 16.
Array 1 base enclosure: connects to port 9 of Fibre Channel switch #2 (FC SW2)
via FC cable. FC port 1 2
Additional base enclosures: connects to the next available port on Fibre Channel
switch #2 (FC SW2) via FC cable. Cable additional base enclosures to the switch
ports in this order: 19, 8, 18, 7, 17, 6, 16.
Array 1 base enclosure: connects to port 19 of Ethernet switch #2 (SW2). Ethernet port 3
Additional base enclosures: connects to the next available port on Ethernet switch
#2 (SW2) via Ethernet cable. Cable additional base enclosures to the switch ports
in this order: 20, 17, 18, 15, 16, 13, 14.
Array 1 base enclosure: connects to port 19 of Ethernet switch #1 (SW1). Ethernet port 4
Additional base enclosures: connects to the next available port on Ethernet switch
#1 (SW1) via Ethernet cable. Cable additional base enclosures to the switch ports
in this order: 20, 17, 18, 15, 16, 13, 14.
If you are installing a single base enclosure, cable it to the Fibre Channel and Ethernet switches
as indicated in
Table 1 (page 27) and the installation is complete. Otherwise, continue to
Table 2 (page 27) and the procedure that follows it.

NOTE: The base enclosure is on the top of the stack of capacity enclosures. From the top to the
bottom they are: base enclosure, capacity enclosure 0, capacity enclosure 1, capacity enclosure
2. One base enclosure and three capacity enclosures make up an array.
1. Locate the SAS cables included in the capacity enclosure kit contents.
2. Remove the tape and end caps from the SAS cables before installing.
3. Verify that both power cords are unplugged on each enclosure in the rack.
4. For each base enclosure, using the figure and table above, work downward to connect the
base enclosure to up to three capacity enclosures.
5. Secure the SAS cables of the enclosures together with a Velcro® tie.
