This example illustrates direct connections from a HP ProLiant DL/ML/SL server with one Smart Array
P411 Controller to the SAS port 1 connectors on the MDS600 Primary I/O modules.
Connect SAS cables from the server to SAS port 1 connectors on the MDS600 Primary I/O modules.
No cables ship with the MDS600. The only supported cable length that can be used is the 2.00m (6.56
ft.) mini-SAS cable.
8x wide SAS cables are not supported.
Always be sure that the servers attached to the MDS600 are powered down before connecting SAS
cables.
