Figure 2-8 Illustration of Attached Adapter Cables

• For a SAS (Single Attach Station) topology, connect the SC-Duplex

connectors (transmit and receive) of the cable to either the B port or

the A port on the adapter. The cable could be an SC-MIC cable or an

SC-SC cable.

• For DAS (Dual Attach Station) and Dual-homed topologies, connect

two adapter cable or cables to the adapter card, one to each port (A

and B).

— If you are using the SC-MIC adapter cable(s), connect the MIC

receptacle of the cable adapter(s) to the MIC-MIC cable(s).

• Using the V-Class as an example, route the cable(s) into the cable

channel and feed it down through the channel to the cable opening at

the bottom of the chassis. Pull the cable(s) through and connect it to

the network device.
