You hear or feel a click when the cable is successfully inserted. You cannot disconnect the cable
without pulling on the blue tag.
8. Route the SAS cables through the cable management arms, as shown in Figure 38 on page 41.
Figure 38. Example of SAS cables routed through the cable management arms (NOTE: SAS cables are
not installed on the left-hand side of expansion canister for the IBM Cloud Object Storage 5U92 disk
enclosure)
9. When both ends of a SAS cable are correctly connected, the green link-LED next to the connected SAS
ports are lit.
For example, Figure 39 on page 41 shows the LEDs of the expansion canister on a 5U92 disk
enclosure. The SAS cable is successfully inserted in to port 1.
