HARDWARE INSTALLATION

3

Step 4. Mount the Drives

You can connect the SATA drives to the controller through direct cable. 

In the direct connection, SATA drives are directly connected to 6Gb/s 

SATA RAID controller port with SATA cables. The 6Gb/s SATA RAID 

controller can support up to 2 ports. Remove the front bezel from the 

computer chassis and install the cages or SATA drives in the computer 

chassis. Loading drives to the drive tray if cages are installed. Be sure 

that the power is connected to the individual drives.

Step 5. Connect the SATA Cable

ARC-1203-2I controller has two SATA internal connectors. If you have 

not yet connected your SATA cables, use the cables included with your 

kit to connect the controller to the SATA hard drives.

The cable connectors are all identical, so it does not matter which end 

you connect to your controller, SATA hard drive, or cage backplane 

SATA connector.
