NOTE:
You can connect both the SAS HBA adapters on each PowerVault NX1950
storage system to one storage controller. However, this is not recommended as
there is no redundancy in this configuration. For more information regarding
the supported cabling configurations, refer to the "Cabling" section in the
Dell PowerVault MD3000 Hardware Owner's Manual.
After cabling the solution, you can turn on the server(s) and the storage
enclosure.
NOTE:
Ensure that you turn on the storage arrays before turning
on the PowerVault NX1950 storage systems.
