Connecting the SCSI cables
To connect the MSA to the storage enclosures, use standard VHDCI SCSI cables
included in the shipping carton with each storage enclosure.
Recommended SCSI cable connections
HP recommends installing additional SCSI I/O modules and connecting storage
enclosures in the same sequence as the pre-assigned box numbers, as illustrated in
Figure 2.
