array, refer to the documentation that came with the internal array to determine
that it is properly configured. When using the Expansion Storage Pedestal, the
proper installation of the Shelf_OK signal jumpers must be verified. The
instructions for this verification are covered in the following paragraphs. The
installation shown is an example, refer to the appropriate StorageWorks Storage
