Internal Cabling Diagrams 10-7

To build a disk array, at least two hard disk drives are required. Use the SATA2 cables provided with the disk array controller (SATA2) for the connection. Remove the cables connected to the hard disk drives and save them for future use.

IMPORTANT: Use hard disk drives with the same capacity and performance.
