This topic provides information about the internal cable connection for the simple-swap hard disk drive with onboard RAID.
1: Connect to the backplane power connector on the system board and the power connector on the hard-disk-drive backplate assembly.
2: Connect to the Mini-SAS connector on the system board and the four connectors of the Mini-SAS cable to the hard-disk-drive backplate assembly.
Note:
The Mini-SAS cable has been installed to the hard-disk-drive backplate assembly by default.
Ensure that the cable is not pinched and does not cover any connectors or obstruct any components on the system board.
Ensure the power cable and Mini-SAS cable pass through the cable clips.
