Connecting to Additional Enclosures

Support Cabling

You can cable the storage enclosure to host systems and to more storage enclosures in two different configurations:

Single Port Configuration: Single Port configuration the enclosures are daisy-chained with one of the ESMs connected to a single port on the controller card.
Figure 1. Enclosure 1 is connected to a host system's HBA and additional enclosures.
Redundant Configuration: In Redundant configuration, the enclosures are daisy-chained with both of the ESMs connected to both the ports on the controller card.
Figure 2. Enclosure 1 is connected to a host system via two HBAs plus additional enclosures. (Connecting to multiple host systems is possible.)
