Hardware Installation:
1. The SSD7580B provides four device ports which utilize SFF-8654
connectors. These ports accept a variety of HighPoint Certified
Cable Accessories (see the Accessories section towards the end of
this guide for more information). The following procedure explains
how to connect U.2 NVMe SSDs directly to the SSD7580B using
HighPoint TS8i-8639-060 NVMe cables.

2. Shown above is an SFF-8654 to U.2 SFF-8639 cable with a 15-pin
SATA power connector. The SFF-8639 port should be connected to
the NVMe SSD’s U.2 port. The 15 pin SATA power connector
should be connected to the system’s power supply.
3. Insert the SSD7580B controller into one of the motherboard’s open
PCI-E 4.0x16 slots.

4. As described in step 2, connect the SFF-8639 cable connectors to
the U.2 SSDs. Next, connect the SFF-8654 cable connector to one
of the SSD7580B’s four device ports (Ports 1 through 4).

5. Connect the remaining NVMe SSDs to the SSD7580B controller as
described above. Once complete, Power on the system.
Note: Please make sure the cables are securely connected to the
SSD7580B’s device ports and the NVMe SSDs or backplane. Loose
connections can lead to a variety of problems including instability,
slower than expected performance and broken RAID arrays or dropped
disks.
Note: Make sure the controller’s device driver has been installed before
physically installing the controller and NVMe SSDs. Driver and RAID
Management Installation Guides are available from the Documentation
section of the product’s webpage.
