Use this as a guide for cabling your PCIe storage
enclosure to an 8231-E1C or 8231-E2C system.
Figure 1 shows an example
of connecting a
5888 PCIe storage enclosure to
an
8231-E1C or 8231-E2C system
by using two feature code (FC) EJ0H
PCIe2 GX++ adapters and two
PCIe cables.

by using two FC EJ0H PCIe2 GX++ adapters and two PCIe cables
Figure 2 shows one
5888 PCIe storage enclosure connected to two
8231-E1C or 8231-E2C systems
by using two FC EJ0H
PCIe2 GX++ adapters and two
PCIe cables.
Note: The
8231-E1C must
be one of two systems in a high-availability configuration in order
to support a PCIe storage enclosure as shown in
Figure 2.

Figure 3 shows two
5888 PCIe storage enclosures connected to
two
8231-E2C systems
by using four FC EJ0H
PCIe2 GX++ adapters and four
PCIe cables.
