SAS Cables
You need one SAS cable for each disk drive you are connecting to your ICP SAS RAID
controller.
Depending on your requirements, you can use any of these cables:
External cable (SFF-8470 to SFF-8470)—Connects to
an external SAS enclosure.
Internal fan-out cable (SFF-8484 to 4x SATA)—Connects
to four internal SATA disk drives.
(SAS-to-SAS fan-out cables—not shown—are also
available.)
External mini-SAS (SFF-8088 to SFF-8470)—Connects
to an external SAS enclosure.
Internal mini-SAS with power (SFF-8087 to SFF-8482)—Connects
to four SAS or SATA disk drives.
