Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product. 1 To install an expansion-card riser, align the riser guides with the riser guide posts on the system board. See Figure 3-14. 2 Lower the expansion-card riser into place until the expansion-card riser connector is fully seated. 3 If applicable, reinstall the expansion card.

Integrated Storage Controller Card Your system includes a dedicated expansion-card slot on the riser for an integrated SAS or RAID controller card that provides the integrated storage subsystem for your system's hard drives. The controller supports SAS and SATA hard drives and also enables you to set up the hard drives in RAID configurations as supported by the version of the storage controller included with your system.
