Connecting SATA Cables

The FS4100 and FS4500 Storage Enclosures have removable Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) connectors that support copper or optical cables. Ensure that you have the appropriate SFP installed for your cables. See the Adaptec 2U Storage Enclosure Installation and User’s Guide on the CD for more cabling information and for daisy- chaining instructions.
