Figure 2. DS4500 Storage Subsystem ports and controllers

1.Connect a host adapter to the Host 1 (top) port on host-side mini hub 1. For redundancy, connect a second host adapter to the Host 1 (top) port on the host-side mini hub 2.

Note: Note: To connect devices to each other, follow the procedure on the other side of this document for installing SFP modules and fibre channel cables.

2.For a second redundant host, connect two host adapters to the Host 2 (bottom) ports on host-side mini hubs 1 and 2.

3.For a third redundant host, connect two host adapters to the Host 3 (bottom) ports on host-side mini hubs 3 and 4.

4.For a fourth redundant host, connect two host adapters to the Host 4 (top) ports on host-side mini hubs 3 and 4.
