Step 5-4. Connect the Min SAS 4i to Multi-lance cable
Model ARC-1231ML/1261ML/1280ML have Min SAS 4i internal
connectors, each of them can support up to four SATA drives. These
controllers can be installed in a server RAID enclosure with a Multi-
lance connector (SFF-8470) backplane. Multi-lance cables are not
included in the ARC-12XXML package.
If you have not already connected your Min SAS 4i to Multi-
lance cables, buy the Min SAS 4i to Multi-lance cables to t your
enclosure. And connect your controller to the Multi-lance connector
backplane. The type of cable will depend on what enclosure you
have. The following diagram shows one example picture of Min SAS
4i to Multi-lance cable.
Unpack and remove the PCI RAID cards. Inspect it carefully. If
anything is missing or damaged, contact your local dealer.
