„For use with a backplane that has individual SATA connectors or individual serial ATA drives, use the break-out cable, which has a multi-lane connector on one end, and four individual SATA connectors on the other end.

To connect the multi-lane cables

Depending on the model of the controller and the number of drives you will be connecting, you will connect two or three multi-lane cables. Each cable supports up to four serial ATA ports.

1Connect each interface cable to a multi-lane connector on the controller. See Figure 5.

When the cable is inserted correctly, you will feel it click into place.

2If your enclosure has a backplane, connect the other end of each interface cable to the backplane.

If you are using a standard enclosure, connect each of the individual SATA connectors to a drive.
