2.  ISAS1 and ISATA1 connectors
 

The ISAS1 connector supported by the Intel

®

 ASRK module(optional), this 

connector supports four SATA 3Gb/s ports (from motherboard to SATAII/

SAS backplane board to connect HDD 1 - HDD 4). The ISATA1 connector 

supported two SATA 3Gb/s and two SATA 6Gb/s ports (from motherboard to 

SATAII/SAS backplane board to connect HDD 5 - HDD 8).

 

If you install an Intel

®

 ASRK module, ensure to move the SAS signal cable 

from ISATA1 to the ISAS1 connector. Also, ensure that the SGPIO_SEL1 

jumper on the backplane is set to pins 2-3 (Default). Refer to 2.7 SATAII/SAS 

backplane cabling for details. 

The actual data transfer rate depends on the speed of SAS/SATA hard disks 

installed.
