Cable for SRCSAS18E RAID Controller

[Billz]

Hi, I just purchased an Intel SRCSAS18E RAID Controller. I am looking for the correct cable to connect it to the SFF8484 backplane in my 4u case. I purchased some SFF8484 to SFF8484 cables on eBay and they don't work. The card came with SFF8484 to 4x SATA connector cables. Could someone please point me in the correct direction on finding the correct SFF8484 to SFF8484 cables. I would much appreciate it.

Thanks,
Bill

Have you tried directly attaching some disks using the cables that shipped with the card? Let us know if the disks are discovered properly in the card's bios in this configuration.

I have tried that and it works. I have a TST-316 3u server case.http://www.tstcom.com/product_details.asp?ID=4

I just can't seem to get it to work with the cables that I bought. I have the manual for the case: http://www.tstcom.com/downloads/manuals/ESR-316_manual_rev_2.pdf

On page 24 of the manual it gives the pin outs and such for the correct cable I believe. I really would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Bill

Does anyone have any idea what cable I need? I really would like to revamp my server asap.

Thanks,

Was a compatible cable ever found for the TST-316? I've had the same case and have tried many different cables over the years with no success. The company either no longer exists or at least no longer responds to requests.
