2.ISAS1 and ISATA1 connectors

The ISAS1 connector supported by the Intel® ASRK module(optional), this connector supports four SATA 3Gb/s ports (from motherboard to SATAII/ SAS backplane board to connect HDD 1 - HDD 4). The ISATA1 connector supported two SATA 3Gb/s and two SATA 6Gb/s ports (from motherboard to SATAII/SAS backplane board to connect HDD 5 - HDD 8).

If you install an Intel® ASRK module, ensure to move the SAS signal cable from ISATA1 to the ISAS1 connector. Also, ensure that the SGPIO_SEL1 jumper on the backplane is set to pins 2-3 (Default). Refer to 2.7 SATAII/SAS backplane cabling for details.
