Chapter 2. Installing Your 3ware RAID Controller

Note: If your backplane has individual connections for each drive, or if you do not have a backplane, you can directly connect up to 4 drives per internal connector through use of a breakout cable.

Finishing Up the RAID Controller Installation

After you have installed the controller in the computer and attached appropriate cables to the controller and drives, complete the following steps to complete the hardware installation.

Connect Battery (if appropriate)

If you are using a BBU, insert the remote battery board and connect the battery to the BBU control module attached to your controller. For details, see “Installing the Remote Battery” on page 20.

Check Installation and Close the Case

1Verify that the cables do not interfere with the operation of any other components in the case or block the flow of cooling air.

2Close the case and reconnect the power cables.

Configure Your RAID Arrays

Turn to “First Time RAID Configuration” and “Configuring Units” in 3ware SAS/SATA RAID Software User Guide for information about configuring RAID arrays. The user guide is included on the 3ware CD that came with your controller. It is also available from the 3ware website at http://3ware.com/support/userdocs.asp.
