Jumper Settings and Cable Connections Based on Internal
Hard Disk Drive Configuration
This section describes the jumper settings and cable connections when using hard disk drives installed in HDD
cages in a non-RAID System or RAID System.
Important If you use Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System or change the RAID level,
initialize the Hard Disk Drives. If the Hard Disk Drive contains valuable data,
be sure to backup the Hard Disk Drive before installing the RAID Controller
and configuring the RAID System.
Note
In the RAID System, use Hard Disk Drives that have the same specifications
(capacity, rotational speed, and standard) for each Disk Array.
Tips
Logical Drives can be created even with only one Physical Device.
Set the jumper on the motherboard according to your system, as shown below.
Important You must avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For
