SAS Cabling to Host System
The DS2000 switch is designed to connect to a host system.
Connect the SAS cable to the ESM Mini-SAS HD connector on the storage enclosure and to the RAID controller or HBA on the host system.
Note: Connectors on both ends of the SAS cable are universally keyed. You can connect either end of the cable to the ESM or the RAID controller.
Tip: To remove the SAS cable, pull the pull-tab to release the cable from the connector on the ESM and the host system. To connect the SAS cable, push straight into the ESM or host system and listen for a click.
- Connect the SAS cable to the ESM Mini-SAS HD connector on the storage enclosure and to the RAID controller or HBA on the host system. Push the cable into the connector until it clicks into place.
- Check the LED indicators on the front panel of the enclosure.
