Cables
Important: You should only use AMCC/3ware certified cables with your 3ware RAID controller. Using an incorrect cable can result in drives that are not detected. The appropriate cables are included with your controller. If you must replace a cable, see the list of available cables and associated part numbers at http://3ware.com/products/cables.asp.
