I have a new chassis with a Supermicro BPN-SAS3-826EL1 backplane
My question is, do I need to connect 2 SAS Cables from this expander backplane to my HBA? From the owner's manual it looks like you do which is fine with me. But for most other expanders I have seen, you only need 1 cable
The next question is, can I go from the PRI-J3 and PRI-J4 ports into an internal to external adapter, and then add another disk shelf?
