Step 5 Connect the SATA cable

Model ARC-11XX and ARC-12XX controllers have dual-layer SATA internal connectors. If you have not already connected your SATA cables, use the cables included with your kit to connect the control- ler to the SATA hard drives.

The cable connectors are all identical, so it does not matter which end you connect to your controller, SATA hard drive, or cage back- plane SATA connector.

Figure 2-13, SATA Cable

Note:

The SATA cable connectors must match your HDD cage.

For example: Channel 1 of RAID Card connects to channel 1 of HDD cage, channel 2 of RAID Card connects to channel 2 of HDD cage, and follow this rule.
