An administrator is reviewing the fabric diagram of a PowerMax 8500 and notices that the back-end (BE) ports on SP-A are connected to the expansion enclosures, but the BE ports on SP-B are not connected to any enclosures. What is the likely impact of this configuration?

The expansion enclosures will be accessible but with reduced performance

The system will automatically reroute BE traffic through the inter-SP link

The system will operate, but there is no path redundancy for the expansion enclosures

The system will not power on because BE ports must be balanced

The Ethernet cable between the SVP and the management switch

The power cable to the expansion enclosure

The internal service cable between the SVP and the SPs

The FC cable between the SPs and the host
