Connecting the SAS RAID Controller with Internal Connectors to
Physical Disks and Expanders

Figure 2.7

shows how to connect the internal SAS cable from the SAS

RAID controller that has internal connectors to SAS and SATA II physical
disks or expander boards.

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 7-wire connector on the internal cable into the internal
connector on a SAS RAID controller.

Step 2.

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

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.
