Step 1 (Multi-lane Controllers). 

Connect the Cables to the Controller 

The 9650SE-4LPML, 9650SE-8LPML, 9650SE-12ML, 9650SE-
16ML, and 9650SE-24M8 models are all multi-lane controllers. 
(For the 9650SE-2LP, turn to the previous page.)

1

Take out the multi-lane cables provided with your controller. 

2

Connect each multi-lane cable to a multi-lane connector on the 
controller. 

When the cable is inserted correctly, you will feel it click into 
place. 

Figure 12.    Connecting a Multi-lane Cable with an SFF-8087 

Connector to the 9650SE-16ML Controller

Depending on the which model of the 9650SE you have, and 
the number of drives you will be connecting, you will connect 
between one and four multi-lane cables.
