Note: Each SAS wide port supports 4 independent SAS channels or phys.
You can use either wide port as the initial port.
Connecting the 12Gb SAS cables
The SAS bus on the Appliance is capable of running at speeds of up to 12Gbits/s. However, devices
that operate at slower speeds (3 Gbits/s and 6Gbits/s) can still be connected to this SAS bus. The
Appliance will automatically negotiate with these devices to obtain their optimal operating speed
upon power up. Each SAS wide port can support up to 4 phys.
Connect the SAS cable(s) to the Appliance as shown below, ensuring that connector is the correct
way up.
