SAS/SATA Connectors (J5 and J6). The LSISAS9205-8e HBA supports SAS/SATA connections through connectors J5
and J6, which are SFF-8088 mini-SAS, external, right-angle connectors.
UART Connector (J4). The UART connector debug port requires a special cable and LSI support to gather detailed
IOC status.
