Figure 2 External SAS ports on the 1U rack-mount enclosure
When two SAS devices are installed, the right–most connector of the internal cable is connected
to the device on the right and the left-most connector of the internal cable is connected to the device
on the left. This routes the right-hand device to external port 1 and the left-hand device to external
port 2.
NOTE:
The interface board has text, “Port 1–0” and “Port 2–0”, on the PCI board near the
internal SAS connector, which also helps identify the routing to the external ports.
