Connecting a RAID Controller with Internal Port Connectors
by Cable to Internal Drives
This section provides step-by-step instructions for connecting the SAS cable from the
internal SAS port connectors on the RAID controller to internal SAS drives and SATA
drives.
Follow these steps to connect your RAID controller with internal SAS port connectors
directly to SAS drives or SATA drives.
Note: The Intel
®
RAID Controller RS3DC080 is shown as an example. You can connect the
Intel
®
RAID Controller RS3DC040 in the same way.
1. Insert the SFF-8643 internal mini-SAS HD-4i connector on the cable into a SFF-
8643 internal mini-SAS HD-4i connector on the Intel
®
RAID Controller
RS3DC080, as shown in the following figure.
2. Plug the HDD connector on the other end of the cable into the connector on the
SAS drive or SATA drive.
3. If you have another drive, connect it to another plug on the internal cable.
