MSA2000 with cascaded drive enclosures
This example expands on the cabling paths illustrated in
“MSA2000 dual controller, dual domain
optimal cabling” (page 106)
and shows connection paths from a dual-controller MSA2012sa
controller enclosure to cascaded, dual I/O module MSA2000 drive enclosures.
NOTE:
Features of the MSA2000sa and MSA2000sa G2 differ, but cabling and configuration
concepts are the same. This cabling scenario showing the MSA2000sa may also be applied to
the MSA2000sa G2.
