Disconnect all cables from the card.
b
Grasp the storage controller card by its edges, and carefully remove it
from the card connector.
5
Install the RAC card in the slot labeled RAC_CONN:
a
Angle the RAC card so that the NIC connector fits through the back-
panel RAC NIC opening. See
Figure 3-14.
b
Position the card so that the card-edge connector aligns with the
expansion-card connector.
c
Insert the card-edge connector firmly into the expansion-card
connector until the card is fully seated.
6
Connect the 50-pin management cable and the 44-pin MII cable supplied
with the RAC to the two connectors on the RAC card (see Figure 3-14),
and to the two corresponding connectors on the system board (see
Figure 6-1).
