5-12 SAS and SATA Ports

SATA Ports

Two SATA3 Ports (I-SATA0/1), col- ored in white, and four SATA2 Ports (I-SATA2~5) are located on the serverboard. These ports provide serial-link signal connections, which are faster than the connections of Parallel ATA. See the table on the right for pin definitions.

SAS2 Ports

Eight SAS ports (SAS 0~3, 4~7) provide serial link connections on the serverboard. On the X9DAi, SAS 0~3 can function as SATA3 ports if the con- nector is used with the mini iPass cable included in the shipping package. The SAS 4~7 ports are available on the X9DA7 only. See the table on the right for pin definitions.
