To connect the cables, do the following:
1. Use the 700 mm (27.56 inches) mini-SAS to mini-SAS signal cable. Connect the mini-SAS connector
1 to the port 0 on the RAID card. Then, connect the mini-SAS connector 2 to the mini-SAS signal
cable connector on the 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drive backplane.
2. Use the 2-pin 200 mm (7.87 inches) RAID card to system board hard disk drive LED cable. Connect the
end 4 to the external connector on the RAID card and the end 3 to the hard disk drive LED connector
on the system board.
