Connect the Cables to Backplanes

„

After installing your 3ware RAID controller and making cable
connections, connect the other end of the cables to an interior
backplane.

Internal Backplane Connection

An interior connection to a backplane in the same enclosure as
the RAID controller uses the SFF-8087 connector.

„

Connect the other end of the SFF-8078 multi-lane cable to the
connector on the backplane.

Figure 12.

Connecting the Controller to the Backplane

Note:

If your backplane has individual connections for

each drive, or if you do not have a backplane, you can
directly connect up to 4 drives per internal connector
through use of a breakout cable.

Note:

Figure 12 is for reference only. System connection

may not be the same as shown in this illustration.
