HP P2000 G3 SAS MSA System User Guide 27
• If used together with mixed drive enclosures, an MSA2000 3Gb drive enclosure should be cabled after
other supported models, using straight-through cabling.
Table 4 SAS expansion cable requirements: expansion module to expansion module connection
1
One 0.5m cable required per I/O module to I/O module connection.
2
Cables required, if not included, must be separately purchased.
3
One 0.6m cable required per I/O module to I/O connection.
NOTE: Additional cabling notes:
When adding more than two drive enclosures, you may need to purchase additional 1m or 2m cables:
• Spanning 3, 4, or 5 drive enclosures requires 1m cables.
• Spanning 6 or 7 drive enclosures requires 2m cables.
