Abstract
Described are a system and method of detecting an improperly connected cable in a storage system. A system includes an enclosure having boards. Each board of the enclosure has a communications port that receives a message identifying a redundant backend network to which that board is connected. The enclosure determines whether the system has an improper cable connection by determining from the messages whether the boards are connected to the same redundant backend network.
