Power and signal cables for internal drives

The server uses cables to connect SATA attached, simple-swap SATA, hot-swap SATA and hot-swap SAS
devices to the power supply and to the system board. (See "System-board internal connectors" on page
136 for the location of system-board connectors.) Review the following information before connecting
power and signal cables to internal drives:
• The drives that are preinstalled in the server come with power and signal cables attached. If you replace
any drives, remember which cable is attached to which drive.
• When you route a cable, make sure that it does not block the airflow to the rear of the drives or over
the microprocessor or DIMMs.
The following cables are provided:
• The DVD drive is attached to an ATA signal cable. The blue connector is attached to the system board. The
connector on the other end is attached to the SATA device. The middle connector attaches to an optional
optical device or tape drive. A separate power cable provides power to the device from the system board.
• Simple-swap SATA models: The simple-swap SATA models come with a combination signal/power
cable that connects to the connector on the system board and the simple-swap SATA backplate to
provide signal and power to the simple-swap SATA drives. Connect the power connector on the split
end of the cable to the Hard disk drive backplane power connector (labeled A) on the system board
and connect the signal connector on the split end of the cable to the Simple-swap SATA signal cable
connector on the system board. On the other end of the combination signal/power cable, connect a
signal connector to each drive bay signal connector on the simple-swap SATA backplate and connect a
power connector to each drive bay power connector on the simple-swap SATA backplate.
• Hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA models:
– The 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS and hot-swap SATA models come with the following cables to provide
signal and power to the hot-swap SAS/SATA drives:
– Two single signal cables (thick red and black) that connects to the signal cable connectors on the
hard disk drive backplanes (the backplanes are labeled A0 and A1) and the connectors on the
SAS/SATA RAID adapter (see the ServeRAID adapters installation instructions in this document for
more cabling information).
