ports:

2. Highlight SAS Ports and press Enter.
3. Highlight the port you want to see and press Enter.
4. Highlight SAS Port Settings and press Enter.
5. Highlight Cable Signal Strength, press the backspace key to erase the
current value, then type in the new value.

performance is unsatisfactory (see “Viewing SAS Port Statistics” on
page 159), try settings of 1 and 3, then use the best setting for your system.
