DR Series Hardware System - Expansion Shelf Cabling The DR Series hardware system appliance is capable of supporting additional storage capacity by connecting Dell PowerVault MD1200 (DR4000, DR4100, DR6000) or Dell PowerVault MD1400 (DR4300e, DR4300, DR6300) data storage expansion shelf enclosures. The expansion shelf enclosure contains 12 physical disks that provide additional data storage capacity for a basic DR Series system. For the expansion unit limits and supported capacities, see the Dell DR Series System Interoperability Guide. As an example, this section and the following figures, Figure 1 and Figure 2 display the recommended method for cabling between the DR Series system's PERC controller card to the appropriate connectors on the rear of a Dell PowerVault MD1200 expansion shelf enclosure. This example applies to the DR4000, DR4100, and DR6000 systems. Note that for the DR4300e, DR4300, and DR6300, the MD1400 expansion shelf enclosure is used. Make sure that the Dell PowerVault MD1200 front panel selector switch is set to its Unified mode (with the switch set to its "up" position, indicated by a single Volume icon). Figure 1 shows the SAS In ports on the Enclosure Management Module (EMM) on the rear of the Dell MD1200. Figure 2 shows the recommended redundant path cabling configuration, which includes cable connections from both PERC H800 connectors on the DR4000 system (or the PERC H810 on a DR4100/DR6000 system) to the two SAS In ports on the EMM rear chassis of the Dell PowerVault MD1200. NOTE: For the DR4300e, DR4300, and DR6300, the MD1400 expansion shelf enclosure is used for data storage expansion. The MD1400 has 4 ports in each controller or EMM; and, Dell recommends using ports 1 and 2 on the MD1400. If you plan on installing multiple expansion shelf enclosures, then the two SAS In ports on the rear chassis of the EMM on the additional enclosure are daisy-chained to the two SAS Out ports on the EMM rear chassis on the first enclosure. This is considered a redundant mode connection via the SAS In/Out connectors on the enclosures with the DR Series system appliance. If you install multiple enclosures and cable them as described here, make sure to set the enclosure mode switch on the MD1200 front chassis to the top (unified mode) position.

DR Series Hardware System — Expansion Shelf Cabling
The DR Series hardware system appliance is capable of supporting additional storage capacity by connecting Dell
PowerVault MD1200 (DR4000, DR4100, DR6000) or Dell PowerVault MD1400 (DR4300e, DR4300, DR6300) data storage
expansion shelf enclosures. The expansion shelf enclosure contains 12 physical disks that provide additional data
storage capacity for a basic DR Series system. For the expansion unit limits and supported capacities, see the
Dell DR
Series System Interoperability Guide
.
As an example, this section and the following figures,
Figure 1
and
Figure 2
display the recommended method for cabling
between the DR Series system’s PERC controller card to the appropriate connectors on the rear of a Dell PowerVault
MD1200 expansion shelf enclosure. This example applies to the DR4000, DR4100, and DR6000 systems. Note that for the
DR4300e, DR4300, and DR6300, the MD1400 expansion shelf enclosure is used.
Make sure that the Dell PowerVault MD1200 front panel selector switch is set to its Unified mode (with the switch set to
its “up” position, indicated by a single Volume icon).
Figure 1
shows the SAS In ports on the Enclosure Management
Module (EMM) on the rear of the Dell MD1200.
Figure 2
shows the recommended redundant path cabling configuration,
which includes cable connections from both PERC H800 connectors on the DR4000 system (or the PERC H810 on a
DR4100/DR6000 system) to the two SAS In ports on the EMM rear chassis of the Dell PowerVault MD1200.
NOTE:
For the DR4300e, DR4300, and DR6300, the MD1400 expansion shelf enclosure is used for data storage expansion.
The MD1400 has 4 ports in each controller or EMM; and, Dell recommends using ports 1 and 2 on the MD1400.
If you plan on installing multiple expansion shelf enclosures, then the two SAS In ports on the rear chassis of the EMM
on the additional enclosure are daisy-chained to the two SAS Out ports on the EMM rear chassis on the first enclosure.
This is considered a redundant mode connection via the SAS In/Out connectors on the enclosures with the DR Series
system appliance.
If you install multiple enclosures and cable them as described here, make sure to set the enclosure mode switch on the
MD1200 front chassis to the top (unified mode) position. For more information, see
