Cable Routing using the both embedded SCU ports and a SAS Expander Card (RSTe
only)
only)
SCU controller limitations prevent both SCU mini-SAS connectors on the server board from being attached to
the same expander card. Therefore, in order to use both embedded SCU ports with a SAS expander card, one
SCU port is connected directly to backplane and one SCU port is connected to the expander card.
To ensure contiguous drive mapping, cables should be routed as follows:
Config Option #1:
the same expander card. Therefore, in order to use both embedded SCU ports with a SAS expander card, one
SCU port is connected directly to backplane and one SCU port is connected to the expander card.
To ensure contiguous drive mapping, cables should be routed as follows:
Config Option #1:
• The SCU_0 (0-3) connector is cabled to first connector on the hot swap backplane
• The SCU_1 (4-7) connector is cabled to Connector A (RES2CV240 or RES2CV360) or Connector 0
(RES2SV240) on the SAS expander card
• Cables from the SAS Expander to the hot swap backplane are connected in order starting with
Connector B (RES2CV240 or RES2CV360) or Connector 1 (RES2SV240)
Config Option #2:
• The SCU_0 (0-3) connector is cabled the expander. Do not use connectors A&B (RES2CV240 or
RES2CV360) or connectors 0&1 (RES2SV240) for the SCU.
• The SCU_1 (4-7) connector is not used, or can be connected directly to the backplane.
• Cables from the SAS Expander to the hot swap backplane are connected in order starting with
• Cables from the SAS Expander to the hot swap backplane are connected in order starting with
Connector A (RES2CV240 or RES2CV360) or Connector 0 (RES2SV240

Cable Routing using a x8 wide-port capable 6 Gb SAS / SAS RAID Controller and an
expander card
expander card
To ensure contiguous drive mapping when using a x8 wide-port capable 6 Gb SAS / SAS RAID Controller with
the a SAS expander card, the system should may be cabled as follows:
the a SAS expander card, the system should may be cabled as follows:
• Cables from the SAS Expander to the hot swap backplane should be connected in order starting with
Connector A (RES2CV240 or RES2CV360) or Connector 0 (RES2SV240)
• Once all connections from the SAS expander card to the backplane are made, the cables from the SAS
controller can be attached to any of the remaining connectors on the SAS expander card
