Active Cables
When daisy-chaining multiple Ultrastar Data60 enclosures together, active cables must be used between
enclosures for improved signal integrity.
Passive Cabling
As a best practice, Western Digital requires connecting the cables to every other SAS connector port when
connecting more than one host per IOM. Please refer to
Order (page 21) for port connection ordering required for IOMA and IOMB:
6. Passive cables should only be used for direct (host-to-enclosure) connections.
