Item Description
1 MiniSAS HD Connector for PCIe x16
While the number of hosts can vary based on the configuration, in every configura-
tion the cables between the JBOF and the hosts are usually connected from Port A
(JBOF) to Port A (Host) and from Port B (JBOF) to Port B (Host). Looking at the L
bracket from the outside, there is a clear marking on the end where Cable A should
go (and Cable B goes in to the other port).
If two cables are plugged into the AOC, then all x16 lanes will be used. If only
Cable A is connected, then it's limited to x8. The table below lists supported cables.
