Remember you need to address three questions if connecting to the host SAS controller: • Is there an external SAS connector on the server? If not, is there an internal SAS connector? • What type of SAS connector is on the server - Infiniband-style or Mini-SAS? • If connecting to an internal port, what is the server's current SAS configuration? How will the loss of connectivity to one hard disk drive bay affect it? 40 Installing an external SAS tape drive
