Hi, im a bit new to homelabbing, and recently bought a server - on a second hand market. The computer came with the following component, but im a bit unsure what it does exactly. It was sitting in one of the GPU slots on the Motherboard. I feel like it has something to do with adding HDDs. Could somebody please clarify this one for me? Much appreciated!

Looks like an SAS expansion board. Those SAS port can be used to run 4 SATA hard drives. Google SAS to SATA for more info.

The model number of the board will allow someone to point you more specific instructions.
