Caution: Both internal and external connectors should be fitted with care. Internal connectors have
a snap spring latch that must click into place and requires special care when removing the
cable.External connectors are deep-seated and require caution when connecting and
disconnecting cables.
5. For the first four drives, ports 0 - 3, connect one 4-port combined end of either an
internal cable (provided) or an external SFF8088 cable (not provided) to the
appropriate lower connector. If you are using more than four drives without using
an expander backplane, connect the second cable to the upper internal or external
connector. For internal connections, see the following figure.
To prevent throughput problems, use the cables provided or use the shortest
possible cable. Do not use cables longer than one meter. Decrease the maximum
length by one foot if using a backplane. Do not use cross-over cables. Only connect
to a SATA drive, SAS or SATA backplane, or an expander device. Route the cables
carefully. Check that controller and cables are all properly attached.
