drives, you must connect the controller to the hard disk drive backplane with a
SAS signal cable that is 58 cm (22.8 in.) long. See http://www.ibm.com/servers/
eserver/serverproven/compat/us/
for information about ordering the cable.
v An optional IBM SAS HBA Controller adapter enables you to connect external
storage devices, such as SAS or SATA hard disk drives or tape drives, to a
simple-swap SATA model server.
v The server scans the PCI slots to assign system resources. The scan sequence
is related to the startup sequence. If you have not changed the default startup
sequence, the server scans the PCI slots in the following order: the integrated
Ethernet controllers 1 and 2; then, the drives connected to the SAS/SATA
controller; then, the PCI Express slots 1 and 2.
