RE: How to cable two ESLS disk expansion units to our new EMX0 expansion unit.

Larry,

I thought he had two expansion units, not one.
Would another option, for performance and redundancy, place 1 card of the pair in the CEC and the 2nd card of the pair in the expansion unit.

I wouldn't bother changing. All 6 slots are fed by C10 in the CEC so you gain nothing with this proposed change.

So the "drawer" is similar to how a bus would act before every card
was it's own bus?

All disk (except for the vios disk in the CEC) will be owned by one

So I should change this from
C1-C2 and C4-C5
to
C1-C4 and C2-C5
?
