Sas Connectivity Module Firmware Update - IBM System Storage DS3500 Introduction And Implementation Manual

Draft Document for Review March 28, 2011 12:24 pm
Important: The connectivity modules in I/O module bay 3 and I/O module bay 4 and all
expansion cards in the BladeCenter unit must use the same interface type. Therefore, you
must install SAS expansion cards before you install connectivity modules in the blade
servers in your BladeCenter unit. For more information about the SAS expansion card, see
the Installation and User's Guide for the SAS expansion card, found at
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
Connect the cables from the DS3500 Storage System controllers A and B to the external
port# 4 and 1 of the two SAS connectivity modules, as shown in Figure 18-7.
