New Shelf Cabling Guidance?

Hi all, my customer is looking for a diagram to help them properly cable their new shelves.  Below is a picture of their config currently.  Does anyone know of a tool or app we can use to generate a diagram to help them cable their new shelves?

For additional context, here's what the existing cabling looks like (the FAS2820 & 3x DS212C shelves).

ConfigBuilder is a possibility, but that is not available to customers.

You can always use something like Visio and leverage the NetApp stencil library.

BTW, it looks like they're maxing out the stack at 144 drives with these shelf additions.

Frankly, you would just add the shelves as shown to the existing stack.
For performance reasons, keep the DS224C (with SSDs) at the end of the stack.
