SAS Connectors Features The storage sled has two SASx28 expander chips on the SAS expander. Each expander chip, labeled LSI 28 port 6 GB expander A/B port in Figure 1-8, has its own unique SAS address and connects to two internal mini-SAS connectors and two external mini-SAS connectors. The external mini-SAS connectors support direct cable connection, an external mini-SAS x4 cable (SFF-8088) connects the compute sled’s HBA/RAID card to the SAS expander.
