    8 Install Cables Route the cables around the CMA loop starting at the top where the loop meets the CMA. Ensure the power and SAS cables have enough slack through the CMA loop to account for the CMA loop extending and retracting. We recommend that the PSU cables have at least 12 inches of slack between the system and the CMA.
  • Page 11 High Availability (HA) systems require another cable from the first port on the second TrueNAS controller to the first port on the second expansion shelf controller. Line the SAS3 cable connector up with the SAS port on the back of the system. Ensure the blue tab on the SAS cable is facing toward the left (toward the PSUs).
