Connecting the cables
This topic provides instructions on how to connect the mini-SAS signal cables to the hot-swap
hard-disk-drive backplanes and the system board, and how to connect the mini-SAS signal cables to the
hot-swap hard-disk-drive backplanes and the required RAID card if one is installed.
This topic applies only to server models that have hot-swap hard disk drives installed. The cable connections
are different depending on the configuration of the server. For information about the cable connections,
refer to the appropriate section for your server configuration as follows:
• For server models with five to eight 3.5-inch SAS or SATA II hot-swap hard disk drives and two
backplanes, see “Connecting cables for models with five to eight SAS or SATA II 3.5-inch hot-swap
hard disk drives and two backplanes” on page 39.
• For server models with up to eight 2.5-inch SAS hot-swap hard disk drives and one backplane, see
“Connecting cables for models with up to eight 2.5-inch SAS hot-swap hard disk drives and one
backplane” on page 41.
• For server models with up to four 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives and one backplane, see “Connecting
cables for models with up to four 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives and one backplane” on page 42.
Connecting cables for models with five to eight SAS or SATA II 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives
and two backplanes
For server models with five to eight SAS or SATA II 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives and two backplanes, a
required RAID card must be installed in the server.
The following cables, which come with the RAID card, are required:
• Two 700 mm (27.56 inches) mini-SAS to mini-SAS signal cables
• One 2-pin 200 mm (7.87 inches) RAID card to system board hard-disk-drive LED cable
Note:
The option package for the RAID card is designed for different types of servers and might contain
additional cables that are not required for installation.
