So with those netapp disk shelves, they have 1 controllers, each with 2 of those ports. What are those ports called again? You have to like adapt them to like mini sas or something to connect to a head server.

Anyway, I want to hook up a shelf to my head server to use as a nas. My question is, can I do this with just one of those cables? Can a netapp disk shelf use all 24 bays with only 1 controller powered, or do you have to run both?

Also, they have a bunch of ethernet ports on the back, but I am not messing with any of the management, I just want it as a jbod attached to the nas

You only NEED one cable + one controller.
