2-8 ServeRAID Controller Hardware Installation
The following figure shows SAS connectors and SATA II connectors on
SAS physical drives and SATA II physical drives, respectively. Cables are
used for connection between internal connectors on the controller and
connectors on SAS drives and/or SATA II drives, respectively. Both SAS
physical drives and SATA II physical drives can connect to SAS
backplane receptable connectors. The difference between the SAS
connector and SATA II connector is the bridge between the SAS primary
physical link and the power connector on the SAS controller, which the
SATA II connector does not have.
Note:
SAS backplane connectors can accept SAS physical drives
or SATA II physical drives, but SATA II backplane
connectors cannot accept SAS drives.
