Cabling The Storage System; I/O Modules - HP StoreEasy 1000 Storage Administrator's Manual

If you ordered the HP Tower to Rack Conversion Tray Universal Kit for the purpose of installing the
15x0 tower model in a rack, use the provided tower-to-rack conversion kit installation instructions
to install the tower hardware into the rack.

Cabling the storage system

The StoreEasy systems support both single domain and dual domain cabling using D2000 and
D6000 disk enclosures, depending on the SmartArray RAID controller that is installed in the system.
See Table 2 (page 21)
using a single data path, to the SmartArray RAID controller in the StoreEasy system. In a dual
domain, external disk enclosures are connected, using two data paths, to a single SmartArray
RAID controller in the StoreEasy system. For more detailed information about single and dual
domains, see the technology brief entitled, "Redundancy in enterprise storage networks using
dual-domain SAS configurations" located at:
public/kb/docDisplay/?docId=c01451 157
NOTE: Microsoft Storage Spaces are not supported on HP StoreEasy 1000 Storage.
