How to Connect Additional Fusion DX800RAID Drive
Enclosures
This section explains how to connect additional Fusion DX800RAID
enclosures to your system. Perform all steps listed here with your
computer and Fusion storage systems powered off.
1. In order to connect a second Fusion DX800RAID enclosure to
the Sonnet RAID controller card, you must first disconnect the
bottom data cable from the first enclosure, and then connect
it to the top (primary) mini-SAS port of the second enclosure
(Figure 7).
2. To connect three or four Fusion DX800RAID enclosures to
the Sonnet RAID controller card, plug in an additional mini-
SAS to mini-SAS data cable (sold separately; check with your
dealer) between the bottom (expansion) mini-SAS port from
an enclosure connected directly to the RAID controller card to
the top (primary) mini-SAS port on the additional enclosure
(Figure 8).
3. You may connect five or more Fusion DX800RAID enclosures by
connecting additional data cables from one enclosure’s expansion
port to another enclosure’s primary port.
