Cabling guidelines for MDS600

Observe the following guidelines:

• No cables ship with the MDS600. The only supported cable length that can be used is the 2.00 m

(6.56 ft.) mini-SAS cable.

• 8x wide SAS cables are not supported.

• The MDS600 has two drawers. Each drawer is an independent unit. A separate connection will be

needed for each drawer.

• The MDS600 does NOT support cascading I/O modules.

• Always be sure that the servers attached to the MDS600 are powered down before connecting SAS

cables.
