DS5020 storage subsystem and supported storage expansion
enclosure drive cabling schemes
The DS5020 supports only EXP520 and EXP810 storage expansion enclosures. To
attach one or more EXP810 storage expansion enclosures to the DS5020 storage
subsystem, you must purchase the Attach EXP810 to DS5020 Activation feature
option. Contact your IBM marketing representative for more information about
purchasing feature options.
The cabling schemes for the EXP520 and EXP810 storage expansion enclosures
are the same. This section describes the instructions only for the EXP520; use the
same diagrams and procedures to cable the DS5020 to one or more EXP810
storage expansion enclosures.
The following sections show cabling schemes for supported storage expansion
enclosures and the DS5020 storage subsystem:
v "One DS5020 and one EXP520 storage expansion enclosure" on page 72
v "One DS5020 and two EXP520 storage expansion enclosures" on page 73
v "One DS5020 and three or more EXP520 storage expansion enclosures" on

DS5020 storage subsystem drive cabling rules

Refer to these general rules when you complete the cabling steps in the cabling
schemes described in this section.
