Cable your storage exactly as illustrated to ensure proper functionality.
A XR 6500 RAID enclosure supports a maximum of seven XE expansion enclosures. Configurations with
two XR RAID enclosures are not supported.
WARNING Do not power on your storage before installing Linux®, otherwise the Red Hat® installer might attempt
to format the storage array and use it as the system disk.
