About the Enclosure Connections

The RAID array enclosure is connected to a host via two hot-pluggable RAID controller modules.

The RAID controller modules are identified as RAID controller module 0 and RAID controller

module 1 (see Figure 1-4).

Each RAID controller module has at least one SAS In port connector that provides the direct

connection to the host or node. A second SAS In port connector is available on the optional dual-

port RAID controller. SAS In port connectors are labeled In-0 and, if using the optional controller,

In-1(see Figure 1-5).

NOTE: When you cable from a host server to an MD3000 SAS In port connector, either Out port of the server’s

HBA can be used.
