Connecting Storage Enclosures

The following diagrams illustrate how to cable XR-series hardware RAID storage enclosures. Cable your storage exactly as illustrated to ensure proper functionality.

WARNING Do not power on your storage before installing Linux, otherwise the Red Hat installer might attempt to format the storage array and use it as the system disk.
