Serial Attached SCSI Connectors: SAS1, SAS2 (Optional)
The SAS connector is a new generation serial communication protocol for devices
designed to allow for much higher speed data transfers. It supports data transfer
speeds up to 3 Gbit/s. SAS uses serial communication instead of the parallel method
found in traditional SCSI devices but still uses SCSI commands for interacting with
SAS devices. Each SAS connector can connect to 4 disk drives.
Connect to the SAS connector on the back plate
