The following subsections provide step-by-step instructions for
connecting the SAS RAID controllers to SAS drives and SATA II drives,
either directly or through an expander.
2.5.1 Connecting the SAS RAID Controller with Internal Connectors to
Drives
This subsection provides step-by-step instructions for connecting the
SAS cable from the internal connectors on the SAS 9260-8i RAID
controller to SAS drives and SATA II drives.
Note:
You can connect the SAS 9260-4i RAID controller to drive
in the same way, except that the SAS 9260-4i controller
does not support the JT7 connector.
Follow these steps to connect your RAID controller with internal SAS port
connectors directly to SAS drives, SATA II drives, or both.
Step 1. Insert the SFF-8087 connector on the internal cable into the
JT6 or JT7 SFF-8087 Mini SAS 4i internal connector on the
RAID controller, as shown in Figure 2.5.
