Power

and

signal

cables

for

internal

drives

The

server

uses

cables

to

connect

SATA-attached,

simple-swap

SATA,

hot-swap

SAS,

and

hot-swap

SATA

devices

to

the

power

supply

and

to

the

system

board.

(See

“System-board

internal

connectors”

on

page

16

for

the

locations

of

system-board

connectors.)

Review

the

following

information

before

you

connect

power

and

signal

cables

to

internal

drives:

v

The

drives

that

are

preinstalled

in

the

server

come

with

power

and

signal

cables

attached.

If

you

replace

any

drives,

remember

which

cable

is

attached

to

which

drive.

v

When

you

install

a

drive,

make

sure

that

one

of

the

signal

cable

drive

connectors

is

connected

to

the

drive

and

that

the

connector

at

the

other

end

of

the

signal

cable

is

connected

to

the

system

board

or

a

compatible

adapter

or

controller

that

you

have

installed.

v

When

you

route

a

cable,

make

sure

that

it

does

not

block

the

airflow

to

the

rear

of

the

drives

or

over

the

microprocessor

or

DIMMs.

The

following

cables

are

provided:

v

Power

cables:

Four-wire

power

cables

connect

the

drives

to

the

power

supply.

At

the

ends

of

these

cables

are

plastic

connectors

that

can

be

attached

to

different

drives;

these

connectors

vary

in

size.

Use

either

a

four-wire

power

cable

or

SATA

power

cable

with

SATA

drives,

but

do

not

use

both

at

the

same

time

(use

one

or

the

other).

v

Signal

cables:

Signal

cables

are

typically

flat

cables,

also

called

ribbon

cables,

that

connect

SATA

attached,

SATA,

SAS,

and

diskette

drives

to

the

system

board.

Two

or

three

types

of

signal

cables

come

with

the

server:

–

SATA

attached

(for

optical

drives):

The

flat

SATA-attached

signal

cable

has

two

connectors.

One

of

these

connectors

is

attached

to

the

optical

drive,

and

one

is

attached

to

one

of

the

connectors

on

the

system

board.

–

(Optional)

USB

diskette

drive:

The

narrower

signal

cable

has

two

connectors.

One

is

attached

to

the

diskette

drive,

and

the

other

is

attached

to

the

connector

(J11)

on

the

system

board.

–

Simple-swap

SATA:

Simple-swap

SATA

models

come

with

four

SATA

cables

that

are

already

connected

to

the

system

board

and

the

backplate

at

the

rear

of

the

simple-swap

drive

cage.

–

Hot-swap

SAS/SATA:

Hot-swap

SAS/SATA

models

come

with

one

or

two

(depending

on

the

model)

data

cables

that

connect

the

SAS/SATA

controller

to

the

hot-swap

backplane.

The

data

cable

provides

inherent

connectivity

for

the

SAS

or

SATA

drives

that

the

server

supports.

Therefore,

additional

cabling

is

not

required

for

these

drives.

For

more

information

about

the

requirements

for

SAS/SATA

cable

and

connecting

SAS/SATA

devices,

see

the

documentation

that

comes

with

these

devices.
