2. If your server has more than four hard disk drives installed, use the other mini-SAS to mini-SAS signal
cable. Connect the mini-SAS connector
1
on one end of the cable to the ports 7-4 on the RAID
card. Then, connect the mini-SAS connector
2
on the other end of the cable to the mini-SAS signal
cable connector 1 on the 2.5-inch hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplane or to the mini-SAS signal
cable connector 0 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 upper hard-disk-drive cage.
• If you are using a ThinkServer RAID 710 Adapter, do the following:
1. Use one mini-SAS to mini-SAS signal cable. Connect the mini-SAS connector
1
on one end of the
cable to the port 1 on the RAID card. Then, connect the mini-SAS connector
2
on the other end of the
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 your server has more than four hard disk drives installed, use the other mini-SAS to mini-SAS signal
cable. Connect the mini-SAS connector
3
on one end of the cable to the port 2 on the RAID card.
Then, connect the mini-SAS connector
4
on the other end of the cable to the mini-SAS signal
cable connector 1 on the 2.5-inch hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplane or to the mini-SAS signal
cable connector 0 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 upper hard-disk-drive cage.
Figure 27. Connecting the mini-SAS signal cables from the RAID card to the backplanes
For the connector location information about the RAID card, backplane, and system board, refer to the
related topics in “Locations” on page 13.
For information about connecting the appropriate power connector of the power supply to the backplane,
see “Hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplane” on page 39.
Connecting cables from the RAID card to the expander card, and then from the
expander card to the hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplanes
To support more than eight and up to sixteen 2.5-inch hard disk drives, your server must have a supported
RAID card and an expander card installed. You need to connect cables from the RAID card to the expander
card, and then from the expander card to the backplanes.
Use the following instructions to connect cables from the RAID card to the expander card first:
• If you are using a ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter, do the following:
1. Use a mini-SAS to mini-SAS signal cable and connect the mini-SAS connector on one end of the
cable to the port 0 on the ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter. Then, connect the mini-SAS connector on
the other end of the cable to the connector 1 on the expander card.
