To attach a 7216 Multi-Media Enclosure to the Power 720 and Power 740, consider the
following cabling procedures:
Attachment by an SAS adapter
A PCIe Dual-x4 SAS adapter (FC 5901) or a PCIe LP Dual-x4-Port SAS Adapter 3 Gb
(FC 5278) must be installed in the Power 720 and Power 740 server to attach to a 7216
Model 1U2 Multi-Media Storage Enclosure. Attaching a 7216 to a Power 720 and
Power 740 through the integrated SAS adapter is not supported.
For each SAS tape drive and DVD-RAM drive feature that is installed in the 7216, the
appropriate external SAS cable will be included.
An optional Quad External SAS cable is available by specifying (FC 5544) with each 7216
order. The Quad External Cable allows up to four 7216 SAS tape or DVD-RAM features to
attach to a single System SAS adapter.
Up to two 7216 storage enclosure SAS features can be attached per PCIe Dual-x4 SAS
adapter (FC 5901) or the PCIe LP Dual-x4-Port SAS Adapter 3 Gb (FC 5278).
Attachment by a USB adapter
The Removable RDX HDD Docking Station features on 7216 only support the USB cable
that is provided as part of the feature code. Additional USB hubs, add-on USB cables, or
USB cable extenders are not supported.
For each RDX Docking Station feature installed in the 7216, the appropriate external USB
cable will be included. The 7216 RDX Docking Station feature can be connected to the
external, integrated USB ports on the Power 720 and Power 740 or to the USB ports on
4-Port USB PCI Express Adapter (FC 2728).
The 7216 DAT320 USB tape drive or RDX Docking Station features can be connected to
the external, integrated USB ports on the Power 720 and Power 740.
