Hello,
My name is Luis and I'm with Adaptec Tech Support
The extra lead on the cable is called the sideband connector. It is used to connect the controller to a backplane that uses SGPIO standard to communicate with the controller. If you have directly cabled drives and no backplane, just coil the cable and leave it to the side.
Thanks,
luis
