See Figure 1. 14 www.3ware.com Hardware Installation Note: UltraATA-66, UltraATA-100 and UltraATA133 drives require 40-pin, 80-conductor ribbon cables. These cables have color coded ends. For optimum performance, the blue end must be connected to the ATA RAID Controller and the black end must be connected to the hard drive. 2 One edge of each interface cable should have a colored (usually red) line denoting the conductor to Pin 1. Align the ATA RAID Controller so that the colored line is toward the top edge of the controller. Mate the connectors carefully without bending any pins. 3 Install the other connectors in the same manner.
