Table 4 SAS expansion cable requirements: expansion-to-expansion module connection
1
One 0.5m cable required per I/O module to I/O module connection.
2
Cables required, if not included, must be separately purchased.
3
One 0.6m cable required per I/O module to I/O connection.
4
When adding more than two drive enclosures, you may need to purchase additional 1m or 2m cables:
- Spanning 3, 4, or 5 drive enclosures requires 1m cables
- Spanning 6 or 7 drive enclosures requires 2m cables
NOTE: For clarity, the schematic illustrations of controller and expansion modules shown in this section
provide only relevant details such as expansion ports within the module face plate outline. For detailed
illustrations showing all components, see Rear panel components on page 19.
