About this task
As Figure 113 shows, you can combine 2145-24F, 2145-12F, and 2077-92F enclosures
in a SAS chain. The limiting factor is the combined chain weight of the various
components. The maximum SAS chain weight that can be attached to a node SAS
port is 10:
v 2077-92F enclosures have a chain weight of 2.5
v 2145-24F and 2145-12F enclosures have a chain weight of 1.
