SAS3 host bus adapter connector locations and labels
The 3340 Appliance uses two 12Gb SAS3 host bus adapters through which data is transferred from each of the 3340 Appliance compute nodes to the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf. Each SAS3 host bus adapter connects to the 5U84 Primary Storage Shelf using mini-SAS cables. One of the SAS3 host bus adapters is installed in PCIe slot 1 of PCIe riser assembly 2. The other host bus adapter is installed in slot 4 of PCIe riser assembly 1.
The following picture and table provides more information about the SAS connectors.
