Controller-to-stack cabling worksheets and cabling examples for common DM3000x, DM5000x, or DM7000x configurations

You can use the completed controller-to-stack cabling worksheets and cabling examples to cable common DM3000x, DM5000x, or DM7000x configurations.

  • If needed, you can refer to the SAS cabling rules section for information about supported configurations, shelf-to-shelf connectivity, and controller-to-shelf connectivity (including DM3000x, DM5000x, or DM7000x port 0b same domain connectivity).
  • Cabling examples show controller-to-stack cables as solid or dashed to distinguish controller 0b port connections from controller 0a port connections.

  • Cabling examples show controller-to-stack connections and shelf-to-shelf connections in two different colors to distinguish connectivity through IOM A (domain A) and IOM B (domain B).
