Connect the ServeRAID-8s controller connector end (see Figure 1 on page 28) of the optional 4-drop combination signal and power simple-swap SATA cable to the ServeRAID-8s controller card; then, for each installed drive, attach one drop from the 4-drop end of the cable to the drive backplate connector (see Figure 1 on page 28) on the drive cage backplate and connect the power connector to a power drop on the system power cable. Route the cable as shown in the following illustration. ServeRAID-8s 4-drop cable 7. Replace the front system fan assembly. a. Insert the fan assembly retaining tab over the right edge of the hard disk drive backplate; then, rotate the fan assembly toward the backplate. Do not fully close the fan assembly. b. Route the 4-drop end of the combination signal and power cable through one of the slots on the edge of the fan assembly; then, route the hard disk drive power drop cable through the other slot on the edge of the fan assembly. Ensure that the cables will not be pinched between the fan assembly and the hard disk drive backplate when the fan assembly is installed. c. Rotate the fan assembly toward the backplate until the release tabs are fully engaged. d. Rotate the drive cage back into the server until it stops; then, press and hold the retaining tab on top of the drive cage while rotating the drive cage into the chassis until it locks into place. 8. Reconnect the fan assembly cable to the system board. Note: Before you continue, check all internal power cables to make sure that they are connected to the system board and other optional devices. 9.
