HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Step 4. Mount the Cages or Drives
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 con-
nected to either the Cage backplane or the individual drives.
Figure 2-11, Mount Cages & Drives
Step 5 Connect the SATA cable
Model ARC-11XX and ARC-12XX cards have dual-layer SATA in-
ternal connectors. If you have not already connected your SATA
cables, use the cables included with your kit to connect the control-
ler 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 back-
plane SATA connector.
Figure 2-12, SATA Cable
Note:
The SATA cable connectors must match your HDD cage.
For example: Channel 1 of RAID Card connects to channel 1
of HDD cage, channel 2 of RAID Card connects to channel 2 of
HDD cage, and follow this rule.
