Connecting the TX8668

The FastTrak TX8668 card has external SAS Ports that connect to a VessRAID
external RAID subsystem. When connected to a VessRAID, the FastTrak

management functions.

1. Connect one of the SAS ports on the FastTrak card in the Host PC to one of
the SAS IN ports (with a circle icon) on the VessRAID controller.
You can connect one or both FastTrak SAS ports to the VessRAID.
SFF-8088-to-SFF-8088 SAS cables are not included.
2. Connect the Management port on the VessRAID controller to your network
switch.
A CAT-5 or CAT-6 Ethernet cable is not included.
