Cable the base enclosure to the expansion enclosure Follow these guidelines to cable base enclosure to an expansion enclosure. Prerequisites Apply cable labels at each end of the following cables: • Node to first expansion enclosure • Node to last expansion enclosure • Expansion enclosure to expansion enclosure if you are installing more than one Steps 1. Cable SAS port B from each node on the base enclosure to the link control card (LCC) on the first expansion enclosure in the stack: a. Connect node A, SAS port B to LCC A, port A on the expansion enclosure. b. Connect node B, SAS port B to LCC B, port A on the expansion enclosure. 2. Cable SAS port A from each node on the base enclosure to the LCCs on the last expansion enclosure in the stack: a. Connect node A, SAS port A to LCC B, port B on the last expansion enclosure. b. Connect node B, SAS port A to LCC A, port B on the last expansion enclosure. 3. If you are installing more than one expansion enclosure, cable expansion enclosure to expansion enclosure: a. Connect LCC A, port B on the first expansion enclosure to LCC A, port A on the next expansion enclosure. b. Connect LCC B, port B on the first expansion enclosure to LCC B, port A on the next expansion enclosure. Expansion enclosure 0 B A Node B A Figure 10.
