4. Connect the DSN-4000 Array

You can connect up to four additional DSN-4000 arrays with 16 drive bays each to increase the physical

storage capacity of your DSN-4100 or 4200 storage system, up to a maximum of 80 drives.

To connect the first DSN-4000 expansion array to the DSN-4100 or 4200 primary array, use the following

procedure and refer to the next figure.

A. Facing the rear of the primary array, connect one end of the expansion chassis cable that was supplied

with the DSN-4000 array to the expansion connector labeled SAS EXP and ensure that it snaps fully

into place.

B. To attach additional expansion arrays, use the expansion cable that was supplied with the DSN-4000

array between the SAS OUT connector (diamond icon) on one expansion array and the SAS IN

connector (circle icon) on the next expansion array.

The hard disk drives will be numbered sequentially starting with zero in the DSN-4100 or 4200 primary

array, and then continuing as you add any combination of DSN-4000 expansion arrays.

Note: Only connect DSN-4000 expansion arrays to the DSN-4100 or 4200 storage system. No other

commercially-available SAS expansion arrays are supported, and any drives in those other expansion

arrays will not be found.
