1 J51 (for connecting the SGPIO connector of the mini
SAS cable)
3 SAS connectors (top: SAS 3; bottom: SAS 2)
2 SAS connectors (top: SAS 1; bottom: SAS 0)
When connecting hard disk drives to the system board using the mini SAS cable, connect the mini SAS
connector
4 to the mini SAS connector on the backplane. Connect the four SAS connectors 6 , 7 , 8 , and
9 to the SAS connectors 0, 1, 2, and 3 on the system board. Then, connect the SGPIO connector 5 to
the J51 connector on the system board.
Notes:
• Remove any device that might prevent you from connecting the mini SAS cable to the system board.
• For the location of the mini-SAS signal cable connector on the backplane, refer to “Locating connectors
on the backplane” on page 18.
