MDS600 and D6000 single domain, high-performance cabling This example illustrates high-performance cabling for a single-domain configuration. In this configuration, note the following: • An additional cable from each I/O module to an adjacent port on the switch offers additional performance: one cable provides a 4x connection; two cables provide a 8x (high-performance) connection. For more information on switch ports, 4x, and 8x (high-performance) cabling, see "HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch" (page 20). IMPORTANT: When using high-performance cabling, both cables from an I/O module must connect to one of the following pairs of switch ports: 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8. NOTE: Restrictions exist, depending on the controller, storage enclosure, and drive model.

MDS600 and D6000 single domain, high-performance cabling
This example illustrates high-performance cabling for a single-domain configuration. In this
configuration, note the following:
•
An additional cable from each I/O module to an adjacent port on the switch offers additional
performance: one cable provides a 4x connection; two cables provide a 8x (high-performance)
connection. For more information on switch ports, 4x, and 8x (high-performance) cabling,
see
“HP 6Gb SAS BL Switch” (page 20)
.
IMPORTANT:
When using high-performance cabling, both cables from an I/O module must
connect to one of the following pairs of switch ports: 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8.
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”
