SAS model cabling

SAS hard drive cabling

The HP ProLiant DL380 Generation 4 Server SAS model uses a serial attached SCSI bus to connect SAS
hard drives on a SAS backplane to a PCI SAS controller. In a SAS environment, each hard drive has a
direct connection to the SAS controller. Two cables connect the PCI SAS controller to the SAS backplane.
Each cable controls four SAS drives.
