Then…
You are cabling a stack with multipath HA,
multipath, single-path HA, or single-path
connectivity to the controllers
Cable the shelf-to-shelf connections as “standard”
connectivity (using IOM ports 3 and 1):
i. Beginning with the logical first shelf in the
stack, connect IOM A port 3 to the next shelf’s
IOM A port 1 until each IOM A in the stack is
connected.
ii. Repeat substep i for IOM B.
You are cabling a stack with quad-path HA or
quad-path connectivity to the controllers
Cable the shelf-to-shelf connections as “double-
wide” connectivity: You cable the standard
connectivity using IOM ports 3 and 1 and then the
double-wide connectivity using IOM ports 4 and 2.
i. Beginning with the logical first shelf in the
stack, connect IOM A port 3 to the next shelf’s
IOM A port 1 until each IOM A in the stack is
connected.
ii. Beginning with the logical first shelf in the
stack, connect IOM A port 4 to the next shelf’s
IOM A port 2 until each IOM A in the stack is
connected.
iii. Repeat substeps i and ii for IOM B.
b. Check the controller-to-stack cabling worksheets and cabling examples to see whether a completed
worksheet exists for your configuration.

c. If there is a completed worksheet for your configuration, cable the controller-to-stack connections using
the completed worksheet; otherwise, go to the next substep.
d. If there is no completed worksheet for your configuration, fill out the appropriate worksheet template,
and then cable the controller-to-stack connections using the completed worksheet.

e. Verify that all cables are securely fastened.
3. If you are hot-adding one or more disk shelves to an end—the logical first or last disk shelf—of an existing
stack, complete the applicable substeps for your configuration; otherwise, go to the next step.
