Chapter 1. Installing an AMCC 3ware 9590SE RAID Controller

4 3ware 9590SE Serial ATA RAID Controller Quick Install Guide

Deciding Whether to Use the LED Status Connector

3ware RAID controllers include two types of LED status

connectors:

 Overall indicator, which lights when any drive is active.

 Individual LED indicators, for each drive. (Not supported on

chassis that have a common ground.)

If you are building a system from scratch, you may want to consider

using a chassis or drive carrier that is compatible with the 3ware

RAID controller activity LEDs, such as the AMCC RDC-400-

SATA drive carrier, available through AMCC. Please check the

3ware web site for the Chassis Reference list (

www.3ware.com/

products/compatibility_sata.asp).

Most chassis have a single drive activity cable that you can connect

to the overall activity indicator on the 3ware 9590SE controller. For

the location of the overall drive activity connector, see the figure for

the appropriate controller on

page 16 and page 17, and refer to

Table 1, “LED Indicator Pin Positions,” on page 18.

Note: If you are using a chassis that includes a Chassis

Control Unit (CCU), follow the instructions that came

with the chassis to connect the I

C cable from the CCU

to the I

C connector on the 9590SE.

Drive Installation Considerations

 Selecting an enclosure. If you are planning to use RAID 1, 5,

10, or 50, you may want to consider installing drives into hot-

swappable enclosures, so that they can be easily removed in the

event of a drive failure. For a discussion of RAID levels, see

the 3ware Serial ATA RAID Controller User Guide.
