From	To	Cable
`1` C0 connector on the RAID adapter	`1a` Bay 0 drive signal connector	cable labeled as 0	For 5350-8i or 4350-8i: Mini SAS HD X4 Vertical to VT SATA7P x2 + RA SATA 7P x2, 460 mm/420 mm/440 mm/440 mm For 545-8i: SlimSASX8 to SATA7P ST2 + SATA7P RA2, 460 mm/420 mm/440 mm/440 mm
	`1b` Bay 1 drive signal connector	cable labeled as 1
	`1c` Bay 2 drive signal connector	cable labeled as 2
	`1d` Bay 3 drive signal connector	cable labeled as 3
Note When no bay 1/2/3 drive is installed, the cable labeled as 1/2/3 is left unused.
