Cabling

Installing mini-SAS I/O cables

The D6020 does not ship with any I/O cables but supports the use of 2.00 m (6.56 ft) mini-SAS
cables.
For information about the supported cables, see the QuickSpecs on the HPE website (http://
www.hpe.com/support/D6020Enclosure-Quickspecs or http://www.hpe.com/support/
D6020Enclosure-Quickspecs-pdf).
Observe the following guidelines:
Only use supported 2.00 m (6.56 ft) external mini-SAS cables.
Always be sure that the nodes attached to the D6020 are powered down before connecting
SAS cables.
The D6020 can be deployed in the following environments:
Direct-connect: Connected directly to a rack-mounted or stand-alone node with a supported
Smart Array controller installed.
Switch-connect: Connected to a SAS BL Switch installed in a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure
(and server blades with a supported Smart Array controller installed).
In direct-connect and switch-connect environments, if one I/O module is installed in each storage
drawer, single domain is supported. If additional, optional I/O modules are installed, dual-domain
is supported.
Because each D6020 storage drawer is managed as a separate enclosure, the drawers can be
connected to different nodes or switches.
To connect the mini-SAS I/O cables:
1. Connect a mini-SAS cable to port 1 on the primary (top) I/O module on the designated
storage drawer.
2. Connect the other end of the mini-SAS cable to a port on the switch or node HBA.
3. If optional, additional I/O modules were installed, install an additional cable to port 1 of the
secondary (bottom) I/O module and to the redundant switch or node HBA port.
4. Repeat these cabling steps to connect the other D6020 drawer.
NOTE: The cable port LEDs should be linked at 12gb/s and illuminated green after the cables
are inserted, or the cable port LEDs should illuminate amber after linked at a lower speed.
