Plug two host cables in to the host connectors of the first RAID
controller (one cable into each FC connector).
2
Plug the opposite ends of these cables into the HBA's of the first
host system (see Figure 4-7)
3
Plug two host cables in to the host connectors of the second RAID
controller (one cable into each FC connector).
