About the Enclosure Connections

The RAID enclosure is connected to a host server via two RAID controller
modules. The RAID controller modules are identified as RAID controller
module 0 and RAID controller module 1 (see Figure 1-4).

Each RAID controller module has two iSCSI In port connectors that provide
connection to the host server. The iSCSI In port connectors are labeled 0
and 1.
