Chapter 9. The Quad External SAS Cable Feature
The Quad External SAS Cable (Feature Code 5544) allows the user to attach up to
four 7226 SAS Tape or DVD-RAM drives to just one system host bus adapter port.
This external cable option is recommended for IBM POWER System customers
who have a limited number of SAS host bus adapters available. It is 3 meters long.
7226 SAS drive features attach to an IBM POWER System SAS port using an
external SAS cable that is provided with each tape drive or DVD-RAM feature
ordered. Up to four 7226 SAS devices may be attached to a single SAS port using a
one-to-four Quad External SAS Cable (feature #5544). The four 7226 SAS devices
may be installed in more than one 7226 storage enclosure.
System x does not support 7226 attach through the Quad SAS Cable.
Note: If this feature is specified, the standard 3.0 meter SAS cable will still be
shipped with each SAS drive feature.
