Figure 25. Mode 1 connection of one 5887 disk drive enclosure by using YO cables to a SAS adapter
pair
17. Complete a mode 1 connection of two enclosures (A and B) by using YO cables (C and D) to a SAS
adapter pair (E) as shown in Figure 26 on page 29, and then continue with "Connecting cables,
power cords, and installing covers" on page 33.
Notes:
• Each adapter in the SAS adapter pair (E) has access to the other adapter and to all 48 drive bays.
• If 6 Gb SAS adapters are being used, they must be cabled by using 6 Gb SAS cables.
• For SAS adapter pairs, you can attach the cables to any adapter port when you use the same port in
both adapters.
