The SAS6160 switch centralizes management for all SAS initiators and SAS targets in the SAS domain. The SAS ports on the SAS610 switch are by default both in ports and out ports. Depending on the requirements, you can attach each port to a SAS host bus adapter, a SAS or SATA JBOD, a RAID array, or a SAS expander. You cannot connect the SAS6160 switch to individual SAS drives or SATA drives. You can use any SAS port on the SAS6160 switch to cascade to any port on another SAS6160 switch to increase the size of the storage configuration.

See Chapter 1 for examples of various kinds of hardware configurations. Chapter 1 also explains the types of SAS connectors and cables that are needed for these configurations.

The SAS6160 switch uses a 3 V coin cell lithium battery for the real-time clock. The battery is not user-replaceable. The following warning and caution apply if you must dispose of a SAS6160 switch for some reason.
