Starting with the first storage expansion enclosure in the loop, connect the Out
port on the right ESM board to the In (lower) port on drive mini hub 2.
Leave the In port on the right ESM board on the last storage expansion
enclosure and the Out (upper) port on drive mini hub 2 unoccupied.
To connect a second redundant storage expansion enclosure group to the
DS4500 Storage Subsystem, continue with Step 3.
3. Connect drive loop C to the DS4500 Storage Subsystem, as shown in Figure 66
on page 89.
Starting with the first storage expansion enclosure in group 2, connect the In
