SAS and SATA devices. You can add 128 end devices or even more with the use of SAS expanders. For more information, see Although you can use both SAS and SATA disk drives in the same SAS domain, Adaptec recommends that you not combine SAS and SATA disk drives within the same array or logical drive. -
Page 52: How Do Sas Devices Communicate
How do SAS Devices Communicate? SAS devices communicate with each other through links. A link is a physical connection between two phys. As shown in the following figure, SAS devices contain ports which contain phys (see next section), and each phy contains one transmitter and one receiver (one transceiver). A phy can belong to one port only. -
Page 53: What's A Sas Address
SAS controller port options vary. A SAS controller with four phys could be configured with one wide port, with two wide ports that comprise two phys, or with four narrow ports each containing one phy. (A wide port with four phys is referred to as a 4-wide or 4x port.) What’s a SAS Address? Each SAS port is identified with a unique SAS address, which is shared by all phys on that port. -
Page 54: What Are The Sas Connection Options
12 SAS or SATA disk drives. Some backplanes support daisy-chain expansion to other backplanes. For example, you can daisy-chain up to nine Adaptec S50 enclosures to a single SAS controller in a host system. SAS Expander Connections A SAS expander device literally expands the number of end devices that you can connect together. -
Page 55: How Is Sas Different From Parallel Scsi
You can use only one fanout expander in any single SAS domain (a topology of SAS—and possibly SATA—end devices and expander devices). A single SAS domain can therefore comprise up to 16,384 SAS ports (and therefore up to 16,384 SAS addresses). The following figure illustrates (in very basic terms) a SAS domain and shows how SAS controllers, SAS and SATA disk drives, and expander devices can fit together in a large data storage topology. - Page 56 Parallel SCSI Serial Attached SCSI Requires bus termination Requires no bus termination Standard SCSI connectors SAS connectors (see l 56 Chapter A: Introduction to SAS page...
