Step 5-5. Connect the Min SAS 4i to Min SAS 4i cable

Model ARC-1230ML/1260ML/1280ML have Min SAS 4i internal connectors, each of them can support up to four SATA drives. These adapters can be installed in a server RAID enclosure with a Min SAS 4i internal connector backplane. Min SAS 4i cables are not included in the ARC-12XXML package.

This Min SAS 4i cable has eight signal pins to support four SATA drives and six pins for the SGPIO (Serial General Purpose Input/ Output) side-band signals. The SGPIO bus is used for efficient LED management and for sensing drive Locate status. Please see page 51 for the details of the SGPIO bus.

Unpack and remove the PCI RAID cards. Inspect it carefully. If anything is missing or damaged, contact your local dealer.
