Notes:
• The number on the label for each of the four SATA signal cables indicates the sequence to follow when
you are connecting the cables to the corresponding SATA connectors (0-3) on the system board.
SATA signal cable label
System board SATA connector
P0
SATA connector 0
P1
SATA connector 1
P2
SATA connector 2
P3
SATA connector 3
• For information about configuring RAID using the configuration utility for the ThinkServer RAID 100 or
RAID 300, see “Configuring the ThinkServer RAID 100 or RAID 300” on page 66.
3. If you have more than four hard disk drives installed, use the other mini-SAS to mini-SAS signal cable.
Connect one connector of the mini-SAS signal cable to the SAS connector 4-7 on the system board.
Then, connect the other connector of the mini-SAS signal cable to the mini-SAS signal cable connector
1 on the backplane for 2.5-inch hard disk drives or to the mini-SAS signal cable connector 0 on the
backplane for 3.5-inch hard disk drives. The backplane for 3.5-inch hard disk drives is installed on the
upper hard disk drive cage.
Note:
If you connect the mini-SAS to mini-SAS signal cables from the system board to the backplanes,
you can configure RAID using the configuration utility for the ThinkServer RAID 100 or RAID 300. See
“Configuring the ThinkServer RAID 100 or RAID 300” on page 66.
Connecting the mini-SAS signal cables from the RAID card to the backplanes for server models with
hot-swap hard disk drives
If your server has a supported RAID card installed, you can connect the mini-SAS signal cables from the
RAID card to the backplanes to support up to eight hard disk drives. In this case, you can configure RAID for
the hard disk drives using the advanced hardware RAID functions.
Note:
The option package for the RAID card is designed for different types of servers and might contain
additional cables that are not required for installation.
