2.5 Cable Connections
1. Connect the SAS cables to the I/O modules. Connect the cable at the highest position
in the CMA to the outermost host port used on the I/O module (Figure 29). Then connect
the second cable to the next outermost host port used, working from the outside
toward the inside.
Note that for SFA subsystem installation, not all host ports are used on the I/O modules.
Refer to the cable maps given in the SFA OS User Guide to determine which host ports
are used.
2. Connect the two power cables to the PCMs and secure them with the cable retainers
(Figure 30).
3. Apply a velcro strap through the hole in the CMA cross bar and wrap around the SAS
cables (Figure 31). Repeat for the other side.
