5.8 Connecting the Enclosure
Dell™ PowerVault™ MD1200 and MD1200 enclosures standardize on the 6Gb/s (SAS 2.0) Mini-SAS
cable (SFF 8088). The Mini-SAS cable is unique from the SAS cable used with the previous generation
Dell™ PowerVault™ MD1000 and MD1120 enclosures. See transition comparison in Figure 12.
Figure 12. Mini-SAS Cable Transition
• Connectors on both ends of the SAS cable are universally keyed. Either end of the cable can
be connected to the EMM or the RAID controller.
• To remove the SAS cable, pull the pull-tab to release the cable from the connector on the EMM
and the host system. See Figure 13.
