To connect serial cables to the controller

1Take 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

2Align the cable connector with the connector on the controller, matching the slotted key and carefully mate the connectors.
