STEP 21
Identify the SAS cables that need to be disconnected and disconnect them.
The SAS cables connect to Port Card in the front and rear of the DE. All cables should be labeled to help when
re-cabling the DE. Find the SAS cables that connect the DE to CECs.
If any of these cables are not labeled,
label them now.
Disconnect these cables from the DE. There will be up to 32 such cables (see Figure 19). You
may have to remove some of the velcro ties in order to disconnect the cables.
There may also be SAS cables that connect Port Cards in the DE to other Port Cards in the same DE; e.g. if the DE
is cascaded. Do not disconnect these cables. Make sure they are dressed sufficiently that they do not get stuck on
anything when you slide out the DE in a later step.
