CAUTION Observe the following considerations when cabling new shelves:

Work on one SAS loop at a time.
Allow at least two minutes between each cable removal or insertion on a SAS I/O module in the Data Domain controller.
Verify all SAS cables are fully seated at both ends.
If possible, utilize available SAS I/O module connections to add new storage enclosures.
