A wide link communicates information between a storage enclosure having plural storage devices and an information handling system by selectively configuring upstream and downstream paths of narrow links to communicate in the same direction. A link load analyzer detects predetermined conditions, such as over utilization or under utilization of narrow link capacity, which initiates a re-configuration of the direction of information through a path of a narrow link. A master link manager configures a narrow link path to manage communication of configuration information for one or more narrow link paths configured to communicate in a direction.
