Just a friendly hint. Everything is color coded. Label the cables and you'll stay out of trouble. Red cable always goes into the Red node or the Red IO module on the cages, Green cables always goes into the Green node or the Green IO module. Never insert a red cable into a Green module and vice versa.
Also, 20k $ for adding this is just plain wrong unless you are on an isolated island in the Pacific Ocean and it covers private air transportation to get there
. Go to another partner for your next purchase. There are packaged installation services for this from HPE which have a fixed price. This should be the cost of ~2-3 hours of consultancy (which should include transport, installation and pre-work verifying that you have the correct patch level for your new drives). 20k$ would be a suitable initial installation cost for a 8-node system with 48 cages and 1000 drives in a replicated environment with everything you could think of adding, but adding a cage on a 8k system someone is either trying to screw you over, doesn't know what they are doing or quoted you the wrong service. Either way, I would probably think twice about giving them my money another time
Edit: Because remember, you are now trusting a random person on a forum to cable stuff on your storage array. If that is wrong everyone is looking at you and you are looking into a screen.
