Figure 4. 4-Port 3ware 9500S-4 Serial ATA RAID Controller
To connect serial cables to the controller
1
Take out the serial cables provided with the 3ware SATA RAID
controller.
3ware serial controllers are supplied with serial interface
cables, one for each port on the controller.
One edge of each interface cable connector is keyed so that it
can only be inserted in one direction. This helps to ensure
proper orientation and installation
2
Align the cable connector with the connector on the controller,
matching the slotted key and carefully mate the connectors.
