MiniSAS-HD Cables
When used with standard MiniSAS-HD cables that does not support the new CMI functionality, the onboard CPU will synthetize a
PCIe #CPERST and forward it to the downstream PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD card. CWAKE and CPOWERON is not supported using
standard MiniSAS-HD cables.
Active Optical Cables (AOC)
The PCI-AD-X16HE-PS-MD card is compliant with active fiber optic cables up to 100 meters. Special configuration of the card needs
to be performed for working with long fibers (Contact Serial Cables). CWAKE and CPOWERON is not supported using standard AOC
cables.
