Question
I have an X10DAI motherboard and four M28E1B (4x sas/sata in/out ports each) mobile racks connected to an Adaptec ASR-51645 card (4x sff-8087 ports). I'm currently connected using four CBL-0016l cable sets and cannot detect any of my 32 drives. Am I using the wrong cables to connect? Do I have target and host protocol reversed using these cables? If so what would be the correct cables for this application?

Answer
According to product link for mobile rack, the cable should be CBL-0103

The cable you are using CBL-0016L is a reverse breakout cable (from motherboard SATA to backplane).
