8.3.2.1 RX-Detect in SAS/SATA (up to 6 Gbps) Applications

Unlike PCIe systems, SAS/SATA (up to 6 Gbps) systems use a low speed Out-Of-Band or OOB communications sequence to detect and communicate between Controllers/Expanders and target drives. This communication eliminates the need to detect for endpoints like PCIe. For SAS/SATA systems, it is recommended to tie the RXDET pin high. This will ensure any OOB sequences sent from the Controller/Expander will reach the target drive without any additional latency due to the termination detection sequence defined by PCIe.
