Intel® Server Board S2400BB TPS By default, the server board provides support for four SATA ports routed to the mini-SAS connector labeled SCU_0. The mini-SAS connector labeled SCU_1 is NOT functional by default, and is only enabled with the addition of an Intel® RAID C600 Upgrade Key option supporting 8 SAS/SATA ports. The server board is capable of supporting additional chipset embedded SAS, SATA, and RAID options when configured with one of several available Intel® RAID C600 Upgrade Keys. Upgrade keys install onto a 4-pin connector on the server board labeled "STOR_UPG_KEY". Figure 23.
