Safety Information Note: Some low-cost motherboards have a single PCI Express slot which is reserved for a video card. These slots cannot accommodate a 9650SE RAID controller or other PCI-E device. Warning! Do NOT insert the 9650SE controller into a PCI-X slot. Doing so could potentially damage the board or the system, and void the warranty. Deciding Whether to Use the LED Status Connector 3ware RAID controllers include two types of LED status connectors: „ Overall indicator, which lights when any drive is active. „ Individual LED indicators, for each drive. (Not supported on chassis that have a common ground.) If you are building a system from scratch, you may want to consider using a chassis or drive carrier that is compatible with the 3ware RAID controller activity LEDs, such as the AMCC RDC-400SATA drive carrier, available through AMCC. Please check the 3ware web site for the Chassis Reference list (www.3ware.com/ products/compatibility_sata.asp). Some chassis have a single drive activity cable that you can connect to the overall activity indicator on the 3ware 9650SE controller. For the location of the overall drive activity connector, see the figure for the appropriate controller on page 21 and 23, and refer to Table 2, "LED Indicator Pin Positions," on page 26. Some chassis do not require the LED connection, but can display the drive activity directly from each connected SATA port. Note: If you are using a chassis that includes a Chassis Control Unit (CCU), follow the instructions that came with the chassis to connect the I2C cable (Chassis Control Cable) from the CCU to the I2C connector on the 9650SE. www.3ware.com 13

Note:
Some low-cost motherboards have a single PCI Express
slot which is reserved for a video card. These slots cannot
accommodate a 9650SE RAID controller or other PCI-E
device.
Warning!
Do
NOT
insert the 9650SE controller into a PCI-X
slot. Doing so could potentially damage the board or the
system, and void the warranty.
Deciding Whether to Use the LED Status Connector
3ware RAID controllers include two types of LED status
connectors:
Overall indicator, which lights when any drive is active.
Individual LED indicators, for each drive. (Not supported on
chassis that have a common ground.)
If you are building a system from scratch, you may want to consider
using a chassis or drive carrier that is compatible with the 3ware
RAID controller activity LEDs, such as the AMCC RDC-400-
SATA drive carrier, available through AMCC. Please check the
3ware web site for the Chassis Reference list (
www.3ware.com/
products/compatibility_sata.asp
).
Some chassis have a single drive activity cable that you can connect
to the overall activity indicator on the 3ware 9650SE controller. For
the location of the overall drive activity connector, see the figure for
the appropriate controller on page 21 and 23, and refer to Table 2,
“LED Indicator Pin Positions,” on page 26. Some chassis do not
require the LED connection, but can display the drive activity
directly from each connected SATA port.
Note:
If you are using a chassis that includes a Chassis
Control Unit (CCU), follow the instructions that came with the
chassis to connect the I
2
C cable (Chassis Control Cable) from
the CCU to the I
2
C connector on the 9650SE.
