To successfully connect the expander card to supported RAID devices and backplanes,
additional cables may be needed. They are not shipped with this expander card, but below
introduction provides detailed pin-out specification, so that users would be able to find
such cable from market.
In server chassis non-expander backplane that has SGPIO connector on it, following cable
is needed: SFF8087 to Four-port Internal Cable with one SGPIO Connector. Check the
RAID controller/module and server backplane configuration details from
in order to get more details of whether
necessary cables are included and how to configure the cabling. Additional cables may be
needed depending on different types of initiator and target devices.
