Connect Fusion R800RAID Drive Enclosure Assembly to

Sonnet RAID Controller

This section describes the connection of the Fusion R800RAID drive
enclosure assembly to the Sonnet RAID controller card.

1. Connect the Infiniband end (with thumbscrews) of the supplied

data cables to the Infiniband ports on the enclosure assembly;
use the thumbscrews to secure the connectors (Figure 7). For
identification purposes, refer to the cable connected to the top
port of the enclosure assembly as “cable A”, and the cable
connected to the bottom port as “cable B”.

2. Connect the mini-SAS end of “cable A” to the mini-SAS port

labeled “A” on the Sonnet RAID controller card;

verify the

connectors are plugged in securely (Figure 8). Repeat with
“cable B”.

3. Connect the supplied power cables between the Fusion

R800RAID enclosure assembly and a grounded wall outlet or
power strip;

verify the cables are plugged in securely.

4. Push the power switches on the front of the enclosure assembly

to the on position, and then power on your computer.
