For the first four drives (ports 0 - 3), connect one 4-port combined end of an internal cable to the right connector (see letter "A" in Figure 3). If you are using more than four drives without using an expander backplane, connect the second cable to the left connector (see letter "B" in Figure 3). Connect the other end of the cables to SATA drives or to the ports on a SATA or SAS backplane (see letter "C" in Figure 3). To prevent throughput problems: ✧ Use the cables provided or use the shortest possible cable. ✧ Do not use cables longer than one meter. ✧ Decrease the maximum length by one foot if you are using a backplane. ✧ Do not use cross-over cables. ✧ Only connect to a SATA drive, SAS or SATA backplane, or an expander device. ✧ Route the cables carefully. ✧ Check that the controller and cables are all properly attached.

For the first four drives (ports 0 - 3), connect one 4-port combined end of an
internal cable to the right connector (see letter “A” in
Figure 3
). If you are using
more than four drives without using an expander backplane, connect the second
cable to the left connector (see letter “B” in
Figure 3
). Connect the other end of the
cables to SATA drives or to the ports on a SATA or SAS backplane (see letter “C”
in
Figure 3
).
To prevent throughput problems:
Use the cables provided or use the shortest possible cable.
Do not use cables longer than one meter.
Decrease the maximum length by one foot if you are using a backplane.
Do not use cross-over cables.
Only connect to a SATA drive, SAS or SATA backplane, or an expander
device.
Route the cables carefully.
Check that the controller and cables are all properly attached.
