Cabling
I/O cabling guidelines
•
Only use supported 2.00 m (6.56 ft) external mini-SAS cables.
•
Always be sure that the nodes attached to the D6020 are powered down before connecting SAS cables.
•
Because each D6020 disk drive drawer is managed as a separate enclosure, the drawers can be connected to different
nodes or switches.
•
The D6020 can be deployed in the following environments:
◦
Direct-connect: Connected directly to a rack-mounted or standalone node with a supported Smart Array controller
installed.
◦
Switch-connect: Connected to a SAS BL Switch installed in a BladeSystem c-Class enclosure (and server blades
with a supported Smart Array controller installed).
In both environments, if one I/O module is installed in each disk drive drawer, single domain is supported. If additional,
optional I/O modules are installed, dual-domain is supported.
