2. Connect drive loop B to the DS4500 Storage Subsystem, as shown in Figure 15.
Starting with the first storage expansion enclosure in the loop, connect the Out port on the right ESM
board to the In (lower) port on drive mini hub 2.
Leave the In port on the right ESM board on the last storage expansion enclosure and the Out (upper)
port on drive mini hub 2 unoccupied.
To connect a second redundant storage expansion enclosure group to the DS4500 Storage Subsystem,
continue with Step 3.
3. Connect drive loop C to the DS4500 Storage Subsystem, as shown in Figure 16 on page 15.
Starting with the first storage expansion enclosure in storage expansion enclosure group 2, connect the
In port on the left ESM board to the Out (upper) port on drive mini hub 3.
Leave the Out port on the left ESM board on the last storage expansion enclosure in storage
expansion enclosure group 2 and the In (lower) port on the drive mini hub 3 unoccupied.
4. Connect drive loop D to the DS4500 Storage Subsystem, as shown in Figure 16 on page 15.
Starting with the last storage expansion enclosure in storage expansion enclosure group 2, connect the
Out port on the right ESM board to the In (lower) port on mini hub 1.
