Note: When you insert a SAS cable, make sure that the connector is oriented
correctly.
v When you connect cables to the SAS ports on the left side of the node canister,
the blue pull tab must be below the connector.
v When you connect a cable to a SAS 4-port host interface adapter, the blue pull
tab must be above the connector.
v Insert the connector gently until it clicks into place. If you feel resistance, the
connector is probably oriented the wrong way. Do not force it.
v When inserted correctly, the connector can only be removed by pulling the tab.
Procedure
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
1. Connect the required number of SAS cables. Refer to the “Planning” section of
the IBM Knowledge Center for instructions on determining the number of
cables required.
Note: When you connect cables to the SAS ports on the left side of the node
canister, each host must be connected to both canisters. Both canisters must
have the same number of cables connected.
