MDS600 and D6000 single domain, standard cabling This example illustrates standard cabling for a single-domain configuration. In this configuration, note the following: • One cable from the MDS600 or D6000 storage drawer to the switch offers single-domain connectivity. For dual-domain support, an additional I/O module must be installed in the storage drawer and connected to the switch. • The cable is connected to the primary I/O module, SAS port 1. • For consistency across all deployments, even though SAS port 1 and SAS port 2 are functionally equivalent, HP recommends using I/O module SAS port 1. NOTE: Restrictions exist, depending on the controller, storage enclosure, and drive model. For more information, see "External SAS device, controller, drive, and cabling support matrices" (page 77) Devices and quantities MDS600/D6000 storage enclosures: 1 I/O modules: 2 BladeSystem c7000 enclosures: 1 6Gb SAS BL Switches: 1 Server blade types: half-height and full-height Connection details • Switch in interconnect bay 5: ◦ Port 1: to storage drawer 2, primary I/O module, port 1 ◦ Port 5: to storage drawer 1, primary I/O module, port 1 Notes • If sufficient ports on the switch are available, HP recommends connecting an additional cable from the switch to each I/O module, for additional performance.

MDS600 and D6000 single domain, standard cabling
This example illustrates standard cabling for a single-domain configuration. In this configuration,
note the following:
•
One cable from the MDS600 or D6000 storage drawer to the switch offers single-domain
connectivity. For dual-domain support, an additional I/O module must be installed in the
storage drawer and connected to the switch.
•
The cable is connected to the primary I/O module, SAS port 1.
•
For consistency across all deployments, even though SAS port 1 and SAS port 2 are functionally
equivalent, HP recommends using I/O module SAS port 1.
NOTE:
Restrictions exist, depending on the controller, storage enclosure, and drive model. For
more information, see
“External SAS device, controller, drive, and cabling support matrices”
(page 77)
Devices and quantities
MDS600/D6000 storage enclosures: 1
