PERC6/i Integrated and "Connectors"

Hi,

I'd like clarification on what OMSA believes SAS "connectors" are.

In the OMSA interface, it describes my PowerEdge 2950 III (with PERC 6/i)
as having 2 "connectors".  Are connectors analagous to "independent" IO
channels ?

I'm confused as wikipedia describes "connectors" as being the physical
connectors--see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Attached_SCSI#Connectors

However, my PowerEdge 2950 has 6 disk bays (i.e. 6 connectors?), so I'm
not sure why OMSA says there's only 2 connectors.




Thanks,
Derek
