Back-End Cabling

An SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system can be deployed with or without SC100/SC120 expansion
enclosures.
If the storage system is installed without expansion enclosures, you must interconnect the two storage
controllers together.
Interconnecting Two Storage Controllers
When an SCv2000/SCv2020 with two storage controllers is deployed without expansion enclosures, the
storage controllers must be interconnected using SAS cables.
NOTE: The top storage controller is storage controller 1 and the bottom storage controller is
storage controller 2.
1. Connect a SAS cable between storage controller 1: port A and storage controller 2: port B.
2. Connect a SAS cable between storage controller 1: port B and storage controller 2: port A.

An SCv2000/SCv2020 storage system supports multiple SC100/SC120 expansion enclosures.
Use SAS cables to connect an SC100/SC120 expansion enclosure to an SCv2000/SCv2020 storage
system.
