Cabling the D6000
After installing the D6000 in a rack, connect the I/O cables and power cords to the rear panel.
IMPORTANT:
To achieve 6G performance, all components in a system (hard drives, disk
enclosures, switches, and controllers) must be 6G capable.
Mini-SAS I/O cables
The D6000 does not ship with any I/O cables, but supports the use of 2.00 m (6.56 ft) mini-SAS cables.
For information about the supported cables, see the QuickSpecs on the HP website
Observe the following guidelines:
