From my understanding I connect A0 and B0 or A1 and B1? Am I correct or do I need all four? Using SAS 8643 to SAS 8643.

Depends how many disks you need to use. Each 8643 cable carries 4 channels, so presumably your backplane supports 16 disks. If you want to use them all, you need all four cables.

Actually it supports 24 SAS drives and only has two ports, seems to have an expander.
