Step 3—Configuring the cabling

The RAID controller card can be used to control SAS hard drives located in the internal hard drive

bays, and SAS hard drives located in the optical bays.

The data cable connections for RAID differ between computer models. To determine the correct

connection for your hard drives, identify the applicable HP computer model and the location of the

hard drive being connected in the following table. To connect existing hard drives, disconnect the

existing single data cables from the system board, and then choose the correct connection type.

The LED cable connection is similar for all HP Workstation models.
