Connect the remaining disk shelves in ascending order by completing the following connections:

  1. Connect one end of the cable to the module A Output on the disk shelf.
  2. Connect the other end of the cable to the module A Input on the next disk shelf.
2

On all but the last disk shelf in the loop, place the terminate switch on LRC/ESH A to the Off position (up).

Note
ESH2 is self-terminating and does not have a terminate switch.

3

On the last disk shelf in the loop, place the terminate switch on LRC/ESH A to the On position (down).

  1. Connect one end of the cable to the module B Output on the disk shelf.
  2. Connect the other end of the cable to the module B Input on the next disk shelf.
 

The following illustration shows the LRC of a DS14mk2 FC being connected to the LRC on another DS14mk2 FC.

5

On all but the last disk shelf in the loop, place the terminate switch on LRC/ESH B to the Off position (down).

Note
ESH2 is self-terminating and does not have a terminate switch.

6

On the last disk shelf in the loop, place the terminate switch on LRC/ESH B to the On position (up).
