Connecting to Attached Storage

Disk shelves can be added to standalone or clustered storage controllers without powering down the appliance or loss of service to clients. Use the diagrams in this section to connect one or more disk shelves. After connecting expansion storage, verify that you have redundant paths to each disk shelf.

Caution - Improper orientation of mini-SAS HD cables during installation can damage the HBA connector and cause the HBA to malfunction. Position the blue release tab downward for horizontally mounted HBAs or to the right for vertically mounted HBAs. See MOS (https://support.oracle.com) Doc ID 1643673.1.

The following list provides links to cable diagrams for standalone and clustered controllers.
