Cabling the EXP3500 storage enclosure
The EXP3500 storage enclosure contains an ESM that enables you to connect the
EXP3500 storage enclosure to a DS3500 storage subsystem. If you are attaching the
EXP3500 to a dual controller DS3500 storage subsystem, you must add a second
ESM to the EXP3500 storage enclosure to provide a redundant drive path.
ESM connectors
Figure 37 shows the connectors on the ESM.
