1. Enclosure Management Cabling List
This section introduces the cabling from server boards’ onboard RAID options, and from RAID add-in cards or RAID modules. Below table
covers possible hardware configurations with selected server board, chassis, and backplane.
Note: Rack server systems’ cables from server boards’ onboard RAID options have been defined in rack server systems’ Technical Product
Specifications, Service Guide or Quick Installation Guide, and won’t be discussed in this document.
Note: The On-board SATA/SAS Capable Controller’s SAS/SATA ports number 4~7 are disabled by default. Only ports number 0~3 work
by default. Refer to Intel® RAID Quick Reference Guide, or Intel® RAID C600 Upgrade Key – Installation Guide from http://www.intel.com to
get more details of how to enable SCU SAS/SATA ports number 4~7.
Note: The On-board SATA/SAS Capable Controller ports, if connected to backplanes or drives through expander devices, cannot support
booting from these drives in RSTe mode.

Boards
Backplane
Cabling from AHCI Capable SATA Controller
Boards which have all six
SATA ports for their AHCI
capable SATA Controller
FUP4X35HSBP or
FR1304HSBP
Use SATA-to-SATA cable, & SGPIO cable (G22461-00x)
Note: The six AHCI ports are numbered as Ports 0 – 5. Port 2 connect to backplane slot 0. Port 3 to slot 1. Port 4 to slot 2. Port 5 to slot 3.
Port 0 and 1 are capable of 6Gb/s and are primarily for optical drives or direct attached drives.
Ports 0 and 1 can be connected to a backplane in sequence after ports 2-5 if desired. That means, port 0 to slot 4, port 1 to slot 5. However,
fault LED on Port 0 and Port 1 will not be functional.
