I have a 24 bay 3.5" chasis with a SAS3 backplane collecting dust so I want to turn it into a diskshelf for my main server.
Am I correct in saying the following is the way to go about it?
1. External HBA in main server, such as 9305-16e.
2. SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 cable between main server and diskshelf
3. SFF-8644 to SFF-8643 passive adapter in diskshelf
4. SFF-8643 to SFF-8087 cables from adapter to backplane
... Or am I missing something?
