Leave port 1A on the ESM B board on the last (fourth) 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 74
on page 97.
Starting with the first storage expansion enclosure in group 2, connect port 1B
on the ESM A board to the Out (upper) port on drive mini hub 3.
Leave port 1A on the ESM A board on the last (fourth) storage expansion
enclosure in group 2 and the In (lower) port on the drive mini hub 3 unoccupied.
4. Connect drive loop D to the DS4500 Storage Subsystem, as shown in Figure 74
