2.6 Connecting SAS and SATA
Hardware
The SAS6160 switch centralizes management for all SAS initiators and SAS targets in
the SAS domain. The SAS ports on the SAS610 switch are by default both in ports and
out ports. Depending on the requirements, you can attach each port to a SAS host bus
adapter, a SAS or SATA JBOD, a RAID array, or a SAS expander. You cannot connect the
SAS6160 switch to individual SAS drives or SATA drives. You can use any SAS port on the
SAS6160 switch to cascade to any port on another SAS6160 switch to increase the size
of the storage configuration.
See Chapter 1 for examples of various kinds of hardware configurations. Chapter 1 also
explains the types of SAS connectors and cables that are needed for these
configurations.
2.7 Safety Notices The SAS6160 switch uses a 3 V coin cell lithium battery for the real-time clock. The
battery is not user-replaceable. The following warning and caution apply if you must
