SATA/SAS Connections
Ten SATA 3 ports (I-SATA0-9) are located on the mother-
board. Please note that I-SATA4/5 are used with Supermicro
SuperDOMs which are yellow SATA DOM connectors with
power pins built in, and no external cables are required.
Supermicro SuperDOMs are backward-compatible with regu-
lar SATA HDDs or SATA DOMs that require external power
cables. In addition, eight SAS ports (SAS 0-3/SAS 4-7), sup-
ported by the LSI 3008 SAS controller, are also located on the
X10DAC. All these SATA/SAS ports provide serial-link signal
connections, which are faster than the connections of Parallel
ATA. See the table on the right for pin denitions.
