Connect the Controller to Oracle Disk Shelves

This section describes connecting the controllers to Oracle DE3-24 disk shelves.

Note -  Do not connect the controllers to Sun Disk Shelves.

Before You Begin

Observe the following guidelines:

  • Disks with different capacities or rotation speeds cannot be mixed within a single disk shelf.

  • DE3-24 disk shelves require SFF-8644 (iPASS mini-SAS HD) connectors at each end of the cable to connect to ZS5-ES controllers.

  1. Locate the four-port HBA in PCIe card slot 2.
  2. Connect the HBA ports of each controller to disk shelf ports.
    • To connect one DE3-24C disk shelf, use the following cabling pattern:
