SAS subsystem storage configurations

Several SAS subsystem storage configurations are supported on the 5105-22E, 9008-22L, 9009-22A, 9009-22G, 9009-41A, 9009-41G, 9009-42A, 9009-42G, 9223-22H, 9223-22S, 9223-42H, or 9223-42S systems.

The configuration you use depends on the combination of SAS features that you have installed on your system. The following tables provide an overview of the features and related configurations for the different systems.
