SAS Controller Daughter Card Your system includes a dedicated slot on the sideplane for an internal SAS controller daughter card that provides the SAS storage subsystem for your system's internal hard drives. The controller supports either all-SAS or allSATA hard drive configurations and also enables you to set up the hard drives in RAID configurations as supported by the version of the SAS controller included with your system. Installing a SAS Controller Daughter Card CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system cover and access any of the components inside the system. See your Product Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge. 1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet. 2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 71. 3 Place the SAS daughter card tray on the SAS card bay on top of the hard drive bay and align the card connector with the slot on the sideplane board. See Figure 3-10. 4 With the hooks on the SAS card bay inserted into the cutouts on the SAS daughter card tray, push the card edge connector into the card slot on the sideplane board until the card is fully seated.
