6-Gb/s SAS x4 ports
The 3U, DAE LCC supports two 6-Gb/s SAS x4 ports (labeled 6GB 0 x4) on the rear of
each SP (A and B). This port provides an interface for SAS and NL-SAS drives on the
DAE. This port is a 26-circuit SAS small form-factor 8088 (SFF-8088 specification
(socket or receptacle) using an SFF-8088 specification mini-SAS HD 26-circuit cable
(plug) with a pull tab.
