Connecting to an MSA2000 3.5” 12–drive enclosure
A: Connecting an MSA2000i G2 single-controller array enclosure to
an MSA2000 3.5” 12–drive enclosure with a single I/O module requires
one (1) mini-SAS to SAS cable.
A + B: Connecting an MSA2000i G2 dual-controller array enclosure to
an MSA2000 3.5” 12–drive enclosure with dual I/O modules requires
two (2) mini-SAS to SAS cables.
Connecting to multiple MSA2000 3.5” 12–drive enclosures
In this example, connecting an MSA2000i G2 array enclosure to three
MSA2000 3.5" 12-drive enclosures requires two (2) mini-SAS to SAS
cables and four (4) HP Ext. SAS cables.
Connecting to an MSA70 drive enclosure
A: Connecting an MSA2000i G2 single-controller array enclosure to
an MSA70 drive enclosure with a single I/O module requires one (1)
mini-SAS to mini-SAS cable.
A + B: Connecting an MSA2000i G2 dual-controller array enclosure to
an MSA70 drive enclosure with dual I/O modules requires two (2)
mini-SAS to mini-SAS cables.
