Installing and Configuring Hardware
59
Perform the following steps to configure the hardware to utilize
redundantpaths on the PERC 6/E adapter:
1 Set up an enclosure on the PERC 6/E adapter.
2 Connect two SAS cables from the OUT ports on your PERC 6/E adapter
to the IN ports of the external enclosure. See Figure 4-3 to view the
connection of the cables from the external enclosure to the PERC 6/E
adapter.
NOTE:
For information on Unified Mode, see the enclosure documentation
that was shipped with the system.
3 To add multiple enclosures, cable both OUT ports of the first enclosure
to both IN ports of the next enclosure.
After you set up the hardware, the controller detects the redundant paths and
automatically utilizes them to balance the I/O load.
