MDS600 disk enclosure port information As shown in the following illustration: • SAS port 1:, the bottom port on each I/O module. Use this SAS port for the first connection to the host (through the SAS Switch). • SAS port 2: the top port on each I/O module. Use this SAS port in wide-port configurations for the additional connection to the host (through the SAS Switch). • Drawer numbers: Each MDS600 has two drawers that contain the drives. From the rear of the device, drawer number 1 is on the right. 1. Primary I/O module (of drawer 1) 2. Secondary I/O module (of drawer 1) 3. MDS600 enclosure drawer 1 4. MDS600 enclosure drawer 2 When cabling MDS600 enclosures to the switch, note the following: • When only one MDS600 storage enclosure is connected to a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure, a common cabling pattern is to connect one MDS600 drawer to switch ports 1-4 and the other MDS600 drawer to switch ports 5-8. This allows server bays 1-8 to access one MDS600 drawer and server bays 9-16 to access the other MDS600 drawer. 84 Device SAS port information

2. Secondary I/O module (of drawer 1)
When cabling MDS600 enclosures to the switch, note the following:
•
When only one MDS600 storage enclosure is connected to a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure,
a common cabling pattern is to connect one MDS600 drawer to switch ports 1–4 and the
other MDS600 drawer to switch ports 5–8. This allows server bays 1–8 to access one MDS600
drawer and server bays 9–16 to access the other MDS600 drawer.
