Chapter 5: Installing the Controller and Disk Drives ● 38

● For SAS RAID controllers, see page 38.

● For SATA RAID controllers, see page 40.

● For SCSI RAID controllers, see page 40.

If you are not installing internal disk drives, close your computer cabinet, reattach the

power cord, then continue with Connecting External Devices on page 41.

Connecting Disk Drives to SAS RAID Controllers

You can connect SAS disk drives, SATA disk drives, or a combination of both to your SAS

RAID controller. There are no jumpers or switches to set before installation.

If you plan to build a bootable array using internal disk drives, ensure you install at least the

minimum number disk drives required to support the RAID level you want. See page 30 for

more information.

Note:

Although you can connect both SAS and SATA disk drives to your SAS controller, ICP

recommends that you not combine SAS and SATA disk drives within the same array or logical

drive. See page 68 for more information.

You have two connection options:

● To connect directly to the controller, see the following section.

● To connect to a backplane, see page 39.

Connecting Directly to the Controller

In a direct-attach connection, SAS or SATA disk drives are connected directly to a SAS card

with SAS cables.The number of direct-attached disk drives is limited to four per internal SAS

connector. (For more information about direct-attach connections, see page 71.)

1 Install your internal SAS or SATA disk drives, following the instructions in your system’s

documentation.
