XR-Series Storage Connections

The XR-series provides both 2-loop and 4-loop hardware RAID configurations.

2-Loop Hardware RAID Configurations

This diagram illustrates how to cable a 2-loop hardware RAID storage configuration. Solid lines represent

cabling for the simplest 2-loop configuration (a single RAID enclosure). Dotted lines represent cabling for

additional enclosures (up to four EBOD enclosures). The table below the diagram lists the hardware you

need to cable different sizes of this storage configuration.

NOTE Although the diagram displays an XR RAID enclosure with F5412E RAID controllers and corresponding XE

(EBOD) expansion enclosures, the concept of wiring would be the same if using an XR RAID enclosure with F6412E

RAID controllers.
