SFF-8639 (PCIe SAS Combo-Connector)

The combo-connector, also known as a 6x unshielded connector, is a high-speed plug and receptacle connector pair. It

is a common connector that supports both SAS and PCIe-based devices.

Systems utilizing the combo-connector can simultaneously support dual-port SAS or quad-lane PCIe device

configurations in an isolated manner. Quad-port SAS devices may be supported by sharing two lanes between SAS and

PCIe.

NOTE: The combo-connector can support both SAS drives and PCIe SSDs interchangeably. However, the Dell

PowerEdge Express Flash PCIe SSD backplane with PCIe SAS combo-connector supports PCIe SSDs only.
