Setup Guide
Setting Up the Expansion Enclosure
Consider the following best practices when setting up an SC460 expansion enclosure:
• An SC460 expansion enclosure is shipped with two SAS cables. Two more SAS cables
are needed to connect an SC460 expansion enclosure to a storage system in a high-
availability environment. The SAS cables can be ordered in lengths of three, four, or ve
meters.
• Before connecting any cables between the expansion enclosure and storage system,
physically label each port and connector.
• Always follow proper power-up and power-down procedures when cycling power across
the network. Verify that critical network components are on separate power circuits.
