I got the new cables (CBL-0294L-01) now and everything is working fine now! In the controller I can see the expander and then see all (currently 10) disks attached to it via backplane! This is pretty confusing as those cables are labeled as cross-over, and cross-over is explained as...

It's funny how I read different information everywhere. This is the cable I currently have: http://www.inline-info.de/de/inline-detail/artikel/3663/ (beware, german language). They state it is to connect hard disks OR backplanes to a controller with SFF8087 port. So well, my controller is SATA...

Hi, I wanted to upgrade my storage server with more disks, unfortunately the Supermicro (while it is an excellent board itself) only provides SATA-type ports (although they are SAS2 ports actually) for the LSI controller. Now I read (also on this board I think) that the Intel RES2SV240...
