Each I/O module on a Drive Enclosure has three SAS ports. The SAS ports provide the interconnection between the Drive Enclosures and the Controllers. The SAS ports also provide the interconnections between Drive Enclosures.
DE2-24P Drive Enclosures
The following figure shows the SAS ports of a DE2-24P Drive Enclosure. Note the position of the SAS ports and the reverse orientation of the two I/O modules. Remember the orientation of the I/O modules and the location of the SAS ports as you cable the system.
