Installing the SAS6160 Switch
2.2.1
SAS6160 Connectors
All 16 connectors on the SAS6160 switch accept standard passive SAS cabling. The
connectors at port 0 and port 2 are active, which allows longer cable lengths when
using active SAS cabling. See Chapter 1 for an explanation of SAS connectors and
cables.

SAS6160 LEDs
The following table shows how to interpret the LEDs for the system, the phys, the
power supply module, and the Ethernet (RJ-45) connector. The LEDs in the RJ-45
connector are built into the left and right corners of the connector.
