4. Using one of the 6m cables from the expansion kit, connect P2 (I/O-A) on the top disk enclosure
in the main rack to P1 (I/O-A) on the top disk enclosure (in the second domain) in the expansion
rack (1, Figure 15).

NOTE: With only one I/O module from the newly added enclosure cabled to the array in
the main rack, there will be HP P6000 Command View warnings that indicate disk drives in
the system are only connected on one of the redundant loops. This is to be expected, and the
warnings should clear as soon as the other I/O module is connected.
6. Once you connect one I/O module (for example, A), verify the status of the I/O module A
ports and the presence of the newly added disk enclosures before you connect the other I/O
modules (in this example, B). Failure to complete this verification could result in potential loss
