Optionally up to ten ETERNUS DX100 S3 drive enclosures can be connected to the DX100
controller enclosure to provide a disk capacity of more than 32TB (up to 352TB).
Internal cabling of the Scale system
The Scale model requires connecting the ETERNSU DX100 S3 storage subsystem to the
server using LAN and FC cables. In addition the optionally available drive enclosures must

Also consider the maximum length of the SAS cables: The maximum length of the
cable between the server and the first JX40 module (JX40-1) is 3.5m and the
cables between the JX40 modules have a maximum length of 1.1m.
Using longer cables may cause malfunction with a risk of data loss!
