Connecting the cables
This topic provides instructions on the following cable connections:
• Connecting the mini-SAS signal cables from the system board to the hot-swap hard-disk-drive
backplanes. See “Connecting the mini-SAS signal cables from the system board to the hot-swap
hard-disk-drive backplanes” on page 43.
• Connecting the mini-SAS signal cables from the RAID card to the hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplanes.
See “Connecting the mini-SAS signal cables from the RAID card to the hot-swap hard-disk-drive
backplanes” on page 44.
• Connecting cables from the RAID card to the expander card, and then from the expander card to the
hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplanes. See “Connecting cables from the RAID card to the expander card,
and then from the expander card to the hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplanes” on page 45.
• Connecting the SATA signal cables from the system board to the non-hot-swap hard disk drives. See
“Connecting the SATA signal cables from the system board to the non-hot-swap hard disk drives” on
page 47.
Connecting the mini-SAS signal cables from the system board to the hot-swap
hard-disk-drive backplanes
To connect the mini-SAS signal cables from the system board to the backplanes, do the following:
1. Use one mini-SAS to mini-SAS signal cable. Connect one connector of the mini-SAS signal cable to the
SAS connector 0-3 on the system board. Then, connect the other connector of the mini-SAS signal
cable to the mini-SAS signal cable connector 0 on the 2.5-inch hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplane or
on the 3.5-inch hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplane. The 3.5-inch hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplane
is installed on the lower hard-disk-drive cage.
2. If you have up to four 3.5-inch SATA hot-swap hard disk drives installed, you also can use the mini-SAS
signal cable that has four SATA ports and one Serial General Purpose Input/Output (SGPIO) port.
a. Connect the mini-SAS connector

to the mini-SAS signal cable connector 0 on the 3.5-inch
hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplane. The backplane is installed on the lower hard-disk-drive cage.
b. Connect the four SATA ports
