12-Port Escalade 8506-12MI Serial ATA RAID Controller
Models 8506-8MI and 8506-12MI have multi-lane internal connectors, each
of which can handle up to four drives. These controllers can be installed in an
enclosure with a backplane. The type of cable you need will depend on the
type of enclosure you have:
■
For use with a backplane that has the InfiniBand 4x connectors (SFF-
8470), use the InfiniBand 4x cable, which has multi-lane connectors on
each end, as shown in Figure 8.
■
For use with a backplane that has individual SATA connectors, use the
breakout cable, which has a multi-lane connector on one end, and four
individual SATA connectors on the other end.
