Connecting the SAS RAID Controller with Internal Connectors to
Physical Disks

Figure 2.6

shows how to connect the internal SAS cable from internal

connectors on the SAS 8708ELP RAID controller to SAS and SATA II
drives.

Follow these steps to connect a SAS RAID controller with internal
connectors directly to SAS physical disks, SATA II physical disks, or both.

Step 1.

Plug the connector on the internal cable into the internal
connector on the SAS RAID controller.

Step 2.

Plug the connector on the other end of the internal cable into
the connector on the SAS physical disk or the SATA II physical
disk.

Step 3.

If you have another physical disk, connect it to another plug on
the internal cable.

You can connect other devices if the cable has more
connectors.
