Note: The steps on this page apply if you are connecting your

controller to individual drives. If you are connecting to Multi-lane

drive backplanes, follow the steps on the next page.

1 If your drives are not already installed in the computer chassis

or hot swap carriers, install them now.

2 For each drive, select the end of a SATA cable and plug it into

the drive or drive carrier.

One edge of each SATA cable connector is keyed to ensure

proper installation.
