2. Attach one end of the supplied mini-SAS cable to the mini-
SAS port located on the back of G-SPEED eS Pro.
3. Attach the other end of the mini-SAS cable to Port A (left-
most port) on the ATTO controller, as shown at right.
4. Attach the power cord to the back of G-SPEED eS Pro and
connect the other end to AC power.

NOTE: G-SPEED eS Pro is shipped from the factory in RAID 0 mode for best perfor-
mance. The ATTO controller also supports RAID 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD modes. Refer
to Change the RAID Mode if you want to change the RAID mode. See RAID Levels
Explained for information on the features of supported RAID modes.
