2. PSAS 1 and 2 connectors

Supported by the ASUS

PIKE Card, these connectors are for the SAS signal

cables for SAS hard disk drives that allows up to 6Gb/s of data transfer rate.
After installing the PIKE RAID card and SAS hard disk drives, ensure that

the SAS signal cables are connected to the PASA ports to create a RAID

configuration.

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

installed.
