Figure 5-6 Cascade Topology: One XCubeFAS / Two XCubeDAS / Dual Path
Reverse Topology: One XCubeFAS / Two XCubeDAS / Dual Path
The XCubeDAS can be connected in redundant connection mode based on forward direction
and backward direction. This provides the optimal networking reliability.
The following figure shows an example of a dual controller XCubeFAS 2026D connected to a
dual controller XCubeDAS XD5300 series which is in turn connected to the second dual
controller XCubeDAS XD5300 series using mini SAS HD to mini SAS HD cable (SAS 12G expansion
cable with Wake-on-SAS, SFF-8644 to SFF-8644). The connection in forward direction is shown
as blue cables. The connection in backward direction is shown as orange cables.
