b. Navigate to the newly added disk enclosure within the Hardware folder in the navigation
pane and select it. The Disk Enclosure Properties window opens.
c. Select the I/O tab.
d. For the I/O module that you connected, check that the overall operational state and the
connection and operational states for each port displays Good. The other I/O module
that is not yet connected will display Not installed for the overall operational state and
Not available for each port operational state.
NOTE: If the newly added disk enclosure is at a different I/O module firmware version,
the overall operational state will display Loading firmware. The state will remain as
Loading firmware until the other I/O module is connected. At that point, the I/O module
firmware will be upgraded.
7. Complete the connections to I/O module B on the expansion rack disk enclosure:
a. Remove the cable between P2 (I/O-B) in the last disk enclosure in the top group in the
main rack and P1 (I/O-B) on the first disk enclosure in the bottom group.
b. Using one of the 6m cables from the expansion kit, connect P2 (I/O-B) on the disk
enclosure in the top group in the main rack to P1 (I/O-B) on the top disk enclosure in the
expansion rack (3,
c. Using one of the 6m cables from the expansion kit, connect P1 (I/O-B) on the disk
enclosure in the bottom group in the main rack to P2 (I/O-B) on the top disk enclosure in
the expansion rack (4,
8. Repeat Step 6 to verify the I/O module B connections.
To connect the next disk enclosure in the expansion rack to the P6300 EVA 2C6D main rack:
NOTE: You already made the break between the disk enclosures in the main rack
(page 14)). Keep the connection between P2 (I/O-A) on the last disk enclosure in the top group
of the main rack and P1 (I/O-A) on the top disk enclosure in the expansion rack (1,
1. Remove the cable from P1 (I/O-B) on the top disk enclosure in the expansion rack (3,
Figure 1 1).
2. Remove the cable from P2 (I/O-B) on the top disk enclosure in the expansion rack (4,
Figure 1 1).
3. Using a power cord provided in your kit, plug one end into the power supply of the expansion
rack disk enclosure you are connecting to and the other end into a rack power distribution
module. You will briefly hear a rush of air as power is applied, and the LEDs on the power
UID flash. The power UID standby switch LED remains amber.
4. With the remaining power cord, connect the other power supply to a rack power distribution
module. The power UID power switch LED turns green. The I/O module index number will
likely display 00, but if not, ignore the index number at this time.
5. Figure 12 (page 16)

disk enclosure in the expansion rack.
