Close all of the baskets. k. If the Ultrastar Data60 is being installed in a rack and will subsequently be transported inside that rack, it is important to use the included cable tie to wrap the CMA bundle to ensure it does not get damaged during transport.
5.6 Cable Installation 5.6.1 SAS Cabling The Ultrastar Data60 can use passive cables up to 3m in length, or active cables up to 10m, for SAS connections to the host. All approved passive and active SAS cables are listed in the following tables.
Page 62
12G-HD-4444/3M Molex 1110751003 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 Table 33: Recommended IOM Port Connection for port connection ordering required for IOMA and IOMB:...
5. Installation Installation Guide 5.6 Cable Installation 5.6.2 Special Considerations for Cable Routing There are a number of special considerations installers should take when routing cables through the CMA. This section outlines those considerations. The distance from the end of the connector at the port to the first basket on the CMA should be 20” – 21” long.
Page 64
5. Installation Installation Guide 5.6 Cable Installation Figure 41: Crisscross Cables When the cables are routed into the CMA, make sure there is some slack given to the elbow joint of the CMA. It is recommended not to wrap the cables tightly around this joint because this can cause binding and prevent smooth operation.
