Connecting the Cables

This section describes the cables used on the SAS controller and provides instructions for

connecting SAS and SATA hard disk drives to the SAS RAID controller.

Note: Use only “straight” SAS cables, not “cross-over” SAS cables.

The cable supplied with the Intel

RAID Controller SASMF8I is for SATA drives or a

SAS backplane connection.

A SATA connector consists of a signal connector and a power connector. The SAS

connector adds a bridge (primary physical link) between the signal connector and the

power connector. This means SAS backplane connectors can accept either drive type, but

SATA backplane connectors can ONLY accept SATA drives. Figure 3 shows these

connectors.
