NOTE: If you are installing a replacement SAS/RAID card, do not remove the plastic cover protecting the card until after installation of the card is complete. 1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and peripherals. 2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 68. 3 Remove the expansion card shroud. See "Removing the Expansion Card Shroud" on page 72. 4 Prepare the card for installation. See the documentation that came with the card for information on configuring the card, making internal connections, or otherwise customizing it for your system. 5 Open the expansion card retainer adjacent to the slot. See Figure 3-26. 6 Insert the SAS card into the expansion card connector on the system board and press down firmly (a SAS/RAID card can only be installed in slot 2). See Figure 3-26. Ensure that the card is fully seated in the slot. See Figure 6-1 for the location of the expansion card slots on the system board. 7 Close the expansion-card retainer to secure the card in the system. NOTICE: Do not route card cables over or behind the cards. Cables routed over the cards can prevent the system cover from closing properly or cause damage to the equipment. 8 Your SAS controller card can either be cabled directly to the internal hard drives, or cabled to the SAS/SATA backplane if your system has a leverrelease hard drive bay (when available). Using the appropriate interface cable, attach one end of the cable to connector 0 on the SAS controller card and the other end to either the internal hard drives or the SAS/SATA backplane connector. - See Figure 3-12 for SAS cabling guidelines to the internal hard drives. - See Figure 3-27 for SAS cabling guidelines to the SAS/SATA backplane. NOTE: Be sure to connect the cable according to the connector labels on the cable. The cable is not operational if reversed. 9 If applicable, connect the LED cable from the SAS controller card to the system board connector (PERC_LED). See Figure 6-1 to locate the connector. 112 Installing System Components
