PCIE6 Riser
See illustration below for the data path from disk devices to
the host. Two options are available: through an expander (red
path), and with no expander (purple path).
For expander mode, a set of SAS cables are routed from
backplanes to expander board and then a choice of routing to
an IO card or an on-board SCU port (SAS2/SATA3 6Gb/s).
For OS, in place of one PCIE6 card, OS disk bracket is used.

For a non-expander SKU, in place of expander board, an OS
disk bracket occupies the space. Due to an absence of the
expander board, to access all 20 drives from the front bay, an
IO card with five SAS ports is required, e.g. Adaptec 72405.
