Chapter 2. Installing Your 3ware RAID Controller

16 3ware 9650SE Serial ATA RAID Controller Installation Guide

Step 1 (9650SE-2LP). Connect the

Cables to the Controller

1 For the 9650SE-2LP, take out the SATA cables provided with

the controller. (For other 9650SE models, turn to the next

page.)

One edge of each SATA cable connector is keyed so that it can

only be inserted in one direction. This helps to ensure proper

orientation and installation

2 Decide to which port you want to connect the first cable.

3 Align the cable connector with the connector on the controller,

matching the slotted key and carefully mate the connectors.

4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second SATA cable. (You connect

one cable for each hard drive you will attach.)

Note: The connectors on the end of the serial controller and

the drive are susceptible to damage from excessive bending.

Be careful not to insert or remove the SATA cable connector

at an angle.

Port 0 is on top.

Port 1 is on the bottom
