Function
This cable is used to connect two SAS adapters to a disk
expansion drawer in a RAID configuration. The cable
must be routed along the right side of the rack frame (as
viewed from the rear) when connecting to a disk
expansion drawer.
This 4 m (13.1 ft) SAS cable connects a PCIe3 SAS
adapter to a SAS tape drive or DVD I/O enclosure. The
AE cable has two connectors, one mini-SAS HD narrow
connector and one mini-SAS connector. The mini-SAS
HD Narrow connector attaches to a PCIe3 SAS adapter.
The mini-SAS connector attaches to a SAS tape drive or
DVD enclosure.
This 3 m (9.8 ft) SAS cable connects a PCIe3 SAS adapter
to one or two SAS tape drives in an I/O enclosure. The
YE1 cable has three connectors, one mini-SAS HD (High
Density) narrow connector and two mini-SAS connectors.
The Mini-SAS HD Narrow connector attaches to a PCIe3
SAS adapter. Each mini-SAS connector attaches to a
different SAS tape drive.
This 3 m (9.8 ft) SAS cable is used to attach a DCS3700 to
PCIe3 LP RAID SAS adapter.
