Figure 15 Example 6, Cascaded Switch Configuration
As in Example 3 (Figure 12), the cables in this example can run from any connector of the downstream switch to
any connector in the switch above it. The cascade sequence is limited to four switches.
Example 7 shows a star (tree) configuration of four switches, with Switch B, Switch C, and Switch D connected
directly to Switch A. As in Example 6 (Figure 15), this example assumes that various SAS targets and SAS initiators
are attached to the other connectors on the switches.
