The sas cabling rules described in this guide balance sas cabling between the on board sas ports and host bus adapter sas ports to provide highly available storage controller configurations and meet the following goals.
Connect controller 1 sas port 11c to the sas port with the square symbol in i o module a of the first shelf in the second stack. Connect controller 2 sas port 11c to the sas port with the square symbol in i o module b of the first shelf in the second stack. Connect the next set of sas cables as shown in the following diagram.
One of these rules is that of the two paths to a single disk storage stack from a single node one should connect to the top and one to the bottom of the storage stack.
