The following procedure describes the internal cabling needed to install a ServeRAID adapter. Important: When installing multiple ServeRAID adapters in a server that has the PCI-X slot enabled for high scan (boot) priority, ensure that the ServeRAID adapter controlling the startup (boot) drive is installed in a PCI slot that is scanned before the PCI slots that contain the other ServeRAID adapters. See "PCI and PCI-X adapters" on page 86. Complete the following steps to cable the ServeRAID adapter. 1. Review the information in "Safety information" on page 257 and "Installation guidelines" on page 79. 2. Turn off the server and disconnect all power cords and external cables; then, open the server cover (see "Opening the cover" on page 82). 3. Remove fans 3 and 4, which are located just behind the PCI-X slots. 4. Disconnect the short SCSI cable from the SCSI backplane and the integrated SCSI controller on the I/O board; then, store this short cable in a safe place for future use. 5. Install the ServeRAID adapter in a PCI-X slot (see "PCI and PCI-X adapters" on page 86). 6. Locate one end of the preinstalled SCSI cable and connect it to the ServeRAID adapter.
