Connecting a FAS2240-2 with 24 internal disks (IOM6), two 2246 shelves (IOM6), and a 4243 (IOM3) SATA shelf.  Is it possible to connect all shelves to ports 0a,0b on the controller in the same loop for MPHA or do we need to connect the 2246 shelves to port 0a, since the internal disks are on 0a also, and connect the 4243 shelf to 0b because it is IOM3.  We don't want the IOM6 modules to step down to 3G.  We would like to have MPHA if possible. 

Also note that WireGuage complains and fails when we mix the shelves on the ports or put the 4243 shelf on port 0a because the internal disks are on 0a.  In fact, the controller disables the 4243 shelf when we connect it to port 0a.  See attached jpg.

Thanks
