4.8 Connecting DSN-5000-10 Expansion Arrays to a DSN-5110-10 Primary Array To connect the first DSN-5000-10 expansion array to the DSN-5110-10 primary array, use the following procedure (and refer to Figure 4-6). 1. Facing the rear of the primary array, connect one end of the supplied primary array to expansion chassis cable (shown below in blue) to the right expansion connector labeled EXP0. Secure the cable to the primary array using the thumbscrews and locking tabs. 2. Connect the other end of the primary array-to-expansion chassis cable to the HOST connector on the rear of the expansion array. Secure the cable to the expansion array using the thumbscrews and locking tabs. EXP1 Connector on the Primary Array (not used) EXP0 Connector on the Primary Array Primary Array Figure 4-6. Connecting the DSN-5000-10 Expansion Arrays to the DSN-5110-10 Primary Array 3. To attach additional expansion arrays, use a SAS-to-SAS expansion cable (shown above in purple) between the EXP connector on one expansion array and the HOST connector on the next expansion array. Up to three expansion arrays can be daisy-chained from the expansion port on the DSN-5110-10 primary array. 4. If your system is equipped with redundant controllers, repeat the above steps for the redundant controllers as shown in Figure 4-6. The DSN-5110-10 primary array has a mini-SAS connector, and the DSN-500010 expansion chassis has a SAS connector. When making these connections, use the primary array-to-expansion chassis cable (mini-SAS to SAS) supplied with the DSN-5000-10 expansion array. When connecting the second through third expansion arrays, you must obtain a separate SAS-to-SAS cable for each I/O module (available separately at no cost from D-Link).
