Cabling Controllers to Disk Shelves in a Base Cabinet
Use the following procedure to cable controllers to disk shelves in a base cabinet. There can be multiple disk shelf chains within the base cabinet, and they can be located both above and below the controllers. After cabling together the disk shelves to form chains, each chain has a top and bottom end that is attached to different HBAs in the controller(s). While your configuration may vary, the following procedure details connecting a single controller to multiple disk chains.
