Check Figure 15.

Imagine one additional enclosure on top and move cables (01) and (04) to that enclosure.

Then imagine a second enclosure below the one on loop 2. Move cables (06) and (08) to that one.

Connect the topmost and the bottommost to the existing ones with the supplied short cables (/).

In the EVAs x400 the numbering of the enclosures does not follow the physical order. Just cable each enclosure to the one next to it.

You should have at least one disk in each enclosure. If you have to add disks, add one each minute and check in Command View that it appears OK. Then group all the disks at the same time.
