2. Connect DPE port 0 to the new DAE to extend BE0.
a. Connect port 0 on SP A in the bottom slot in the DPE to port A on the link
control card A (LCC A) at the bottom of the DAE. [
b. Connect port 0 on SP B in the top slot in the DPE to port A on the link
control card (LCC B) at the top of the DAE. [
Where supported, the following example shows how to connect remaining four SAS
back-end ports and shows the cable labels for these SAS cables, as well as the back-
end bus and enclosure numbers for these DPE to DAE connections.
Note
The optional back-end 12-Gb/s SAS module is not supported on all Unity storage
systems.
Cable the DAE to the 12-Gb/s SAS modules in the DPE 0, port 0 through port 3, to
create back-end bus 2 through 5, BE2-BE5.
