The drive expansion enclosure connects to the RAID expansion enclosure(s) using serial-attached
SCSI (SAS) cables (rather than fibre channel). Each RAID controller has one drive expansion
connector (located on the far right of the controller). You can connect up to three optional drive
expansion enclosures to your RAID controller/drive enclosure. Drive expansion modules (see
Figure 1-3) use the following SAS connectors:
1. SAS in connector
2. SAS out connector
