switches
Figure 5 (page 4) identifies the I/O modules and
SAS port connectors that require connections to the
SAS switches within the rack. On each X9730 CX,
note that the SAS port 2 connector is not used.

This document illustrates cabling for three X9730 CXs
in the main rack and one X9730 CX in the expansion
rack. These instructions can be applied to any
configuration.
Connecting X9730 CXs in the main rack
As shown in Figure 1 (page 2), two X9730 CXs are
located below the SAS switches; the remaining X9730
CXs are located above the SAS switches. The X9730
CXs are numbered starting from the bottom (for
example, X9730 CX 1 is located at the bottom of the
rack; X9730 CX 2 is located directly above X9730
CX 1).
For the purposes of this document, it is assumed you
have the minimum configuration (one X9730 CX in
the main rack). On X9730 CX 1, the connections to
the SAS switches are:
• SAS port 1 connector on the primary I/O module
(Drawer 1) to port 1 on the Bay 5 SAS switch
• SAS port 1 connector on the secondary I/O
module (Drawer 1) to port 1 on the Bay 6 SAS
switch
• SAS port 1 connector on the primary I/O module
(Drawer2) to port 1 on the Bay 7 SAS switch
• SAS port 1 connector on the secondary I/O
module (Drawer 2) to port 1 on the Bay 8 SAS
switch
