Because of the way RAID writes your data in stripes, some of the data could be corrupted if the cables connecting the controllers and JBODs were switched somehow. So, we recommend that you put a label on each cable that shows the following information:

  • The controller's slot number (this is stenciled on the system).

  • The controller's port letter (and corresponding number: A=0, B=1, C=2, and D=3).

  • The JBOD's BCC location (top or bottom) and its port letter (A or B).

After you have labeled all of the cables, go to the next section, “Verifying the Installation”.
