Note: The Escalade Serial ATA controller can be used with

either serial or parallel drives. If using the controller with

parallel drives the CBL-P-SATA (Parallel to Serial Driver

Converter) must be used in conjunction.

The advantage of using the Escalade SerialATA Controller

with parallel drives is the simpler, longer cable and

increased airflow.

Package Contents

3ware before proceeding with installation (disk drives and disk

mounting brackets are not included):

• Escalade CBL-P-SATA (one per port)

• Power Converter Adapter (one per port)

• Jumper(s) for converter (if not already installed)

• 3ware Installation Guide

Tools Required

• An ESD grounding strap or mat

• Standard hand tools to open your system’s case and install the

Escalade ATA RAID Controller into an available PCI expansion

slot.

System Requirements

The Escalade ATA RAID Controller requires a workstation-class

or server-class CPU whose bus complies with PCI 2.2 standards,

and a PCI slot that meets the Plug and Play and PC99 specifica-

tions. The ATA RAID Controller may be connected to up to two,

four, eight, or twelve IDE/ATA drives by the supplied interface

cables.

Note: It is recommended that the Escalade 7000 or 8000

card be installed in the 64-bit PCI slot whenever possible

for the best performance. The controllers fit in both 32-bit

and 64-bit PCI slots with 5V as well as 3.3V. The 12-port

7000 board requires one full size PCI slot.

Drives must meet UltraATA-133, UltraATA-100, UltraATA-66 or

UltraATA-33 standards (8000 family does not support UltraDMA-

66 or UltraDMA-33 standards), but may be of any capacity or phys-

ical form factor. Length of unshielded interface cables may not

exceed 36” (91.4 cm) for parallel ATA controllers and 1M (39”) for

serial ATA controllers.

Personal Safety

Warning! High voltages may be found inside computer

equipment. Before installing any of the hardware in this

package or removing the protective covers of any com-

puter equipment, turn off power switches and disconnect

power cords. Do not reconnect the power cords until you

have replaced the covers.

Protecting Equipment and Data

Back up your data! Creating or deleting disk arrays

destroys existing files on the member drives. If your

drives contain valuable data, back them up and save data

elsewhere before changing your array configuration.

ESD Precautions

Standard electrostatic discharge (ESD) precautions must be fol-

lowed to avoid damaging computer components and accessories

when installing or removing the EscaladeATA RAID Controller.

• When the case of your computer is open and its internal parts are

exposed, don’t touch any internal part unnecessarily.

• Always wear a grounded strap or work on an ESD-protective

mat.

• Don’t remove the ATA RAID Controller from its protective bag

until you are properly grounded.

3ware Escalade ATA RAID Controller Installation Guide

www.3ware.com

• Handle the ATA RAID Controller by its edges or by the black

rail and metal bracket at its two ends.

• Don’t touch any pin, contact, lead or component on theATA

RAID Controller.

Mechanical Concerns

Be careful when installing the EscaladeATA RAID Controller into

your system. Excessive force can damage the board, the cables,

your drives or your system.

• Be sure the board is aligned with its slot on the motherboard

before installing. Do not flex the board excessively.

• Interface cable connectors must be mated carefully without

bending any pins. The connectors provided are keyed to prevent

you from inserting them upside-down.

• Interface cables are fragile and must not be crimped or pinched.

Ensure that they do not impede the flow of cooling air from fans

or heat sinks in the system case.
