Make Backplane Cable Connections:
WARNING
It is critical that you connect the SAS/SATA data cables correctly from the
SAS/SATA backplane to your server board or RAID Controller card.
Failure to do so may result in data loss.
For a six-drive SAS/SATA Backplane Non-expander installation:
1.
Connect two power cables (letter “A”) to the power cable connectors on the SAS/SATA backplane.
2.
Connect a SAS/SATA data cable (letter “B”) to each appropriate drive connector on the backplane.
When viewed from the front, the hard drives in the drive cage are labeled as the figure below
indicates.
NOTE
The SAS/SATA cables are labeled to correspond with each drive. Make sure to
connect the cables correctly to avoid confusion later.
The SAS/SATA connectors are laid out as follows on the backplane:
A.
Power cable
B.
Data cable
C.
IPMB
D.
SES
E.
SGPIO
