Chapter 4: Drive Connection
The following figures show the SAS ports on a DE6600 drive tray. You may connect
either of the SAS ports labeled SAS 1 and SAS 2 to the SAS expansion port on
another drive tray or on a controller-drive tray. Do not make connections to both the
SAS 1 port and the SAS 2 port on the same ESM.
WARNING (W15) Risk of bodily injury – An empty tray weighs approximately
56.7 kg (125 lb). Three persons are required to safely move an empty tray. If the tray
is populated with components, a mechanized lift is required to safely move the tray.
NOTE If the storage array includes DE6600 drive trays, install those drive trays
beginning from the bottom of the cabinet so that the cabinet does not become
top-heavy. A top-heavy cabinet has a greater risk of falling over.
