The appendix contains the following sections:
Target Devices
The following rules apply for supported target devices:
- Internal Enclosures:
- SAS/SATA backplane
- SASA/SATA backplane with SES-2 enclosure management support
| Note - Enclosure cascading is not supported.
|
- SAS/SATA HDDs:
- Eight direct-attached per HBA (128 HDDs maximum via backplane SAS expander)
