5.8 Connecting the Enclosure

Dell™ PowerVault™ MD1200 and MD1200 enclosures standardize on the 6Gb/s (SAS 2.0) Mini-SAS
cable (SFF 8088). The Mini-SAS cable is unique from the SAS cable used with the previous generation
Dell™ PowerVault™ MD1000 and MD1120 enclosures. See transition comparison in Figure 12.
Connectors on both ends of the SAS cable are universally keyed. Either end of the cable can
be connected to the EMM or the RAID controller.
To remove the SAS cable, pull the pull-tab to release the cable from the connector on the EMM
and the host system. See Figure 13.
