HP IBRIX X9730 Performance Module Installation Instructions (QZ730-96001, June 2012)

TIP: The number corresponding to the location
of the X9730 CX corresponds to the port
number on the SAS switch to which the X9730
CX is connected. (The ports on the SAS switches
are labeled 1 through 8, starting from the left.)
For example, X9730 CX 2 connects to port 2
on each SAS switch. X9730 CX 7 connects to
port 7 on each SAS switch.
Figure 6 (page 5) illustrates the connections.
