Cabling the 5888 PCIe storage enclosure to an 8231-E1C or 8231-E2C system

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.

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.
