AnSC200/SC220cablingchaincancontainupto168SASdrives,usingeithertypeof
enclosure.The
maximumnumberofanyonetypeofenclosureis:
 SC200:14enclosures
 SC220:7enclosures
EachSASIOcardsupportsuptotwochainsofenclosures.Allenclosuresattachedtothe
sameSASIOcardmustberunningatthesamespeed(all6Gbor3Gb).
SC200/220SASenclosurechainsarecabledasfollows.
