Complete the installation of the optional SCSI adapter. Cabling an optional SATA adapter If the server model supports internal SATA hard disk drives, the integrated SATA controller supports only two hard disk drives. You can install an optional ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter in the server to support up to four SATA hard disk drives and to control them. With a ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter installed, you can configure the internal hard disk drives into disk arrays that use higher levels of RAID functionality than the integrated SATA controller. See the ServeRAID-7t S-ATA adapter option documentation for complete instructions for installing a SATA adapter in the server and for additional information about SATA adapters. Complete the following steps to cable an optional SATA adapter: 1. Install the SATA adapter (see "Installing an adapter" on page 51). 2. Disconnect the two SATA cables from the system board Serial ATA connectors and connect them to the SATA adapter. These are the signal cables for the SATA drives in bays 7 and 6 (see "System board internal connectors" on page 86). Chapter 4. Customer replacement units 55

Cabling
an
optional
SATA
adapter
If
the
server
model
supports
internal
SATA
hard
disk
drives,
the
integrated
SATA
controller
supports
only
two
hard
disk
drives.
You
can
install
an
optional
ServeRAID-7t
S-ATA
adapter
in
the
server
to
support
up
to
four
SATA
hard
disk
drives
and
to
control
them.
With
a
ServeRAID-7t
S-ATA
adapter
installed,
you
can
configure
the
internal
hard
disk
drives
into
disk
arrays
that
use
higher
levels
of
RAID
functionality
than
the
integrated
SATA
controller.
See
the
ServeRAID-7t
S-ATA
adapter
option
documentation
for
complete
instructions
for
installing
a
SATA
adapter
in
the
server
and
for
additional
information
about
SATA
adapters.
Complete
the
following
steps
to
cable
an
optional
SATA
adapter:
1.
Install
the
SATA
adapter
(see
“Installing
an
adapter”
on
page
51).
2.
Disconnect
the
two
SATA
cables
from
the
system
board
Serial
ATA
connectors
and
connect
them
to
the
SATA
adapter.
These
are
the
signal
cables
for
the
SATA
drives
in
bays
7
and
6
(see
“System
board
internal
connectors”
on
page
86).
