To Install the HBA

1. Attach an ESD wrist strap and remove the HBA from its protective bag.

   See Observing ESD and Handling Precautions.

2. Refer to your system installation or service manual to determine how to locate an empty PCIe ExpressModule slot in which you can insert the HBA.
3. Grasp the button (the latching mechanism at the end of the ejection lever) on the front of the HBA and pivot the lever downward.
4. Insert the HBA into an available PCIe ExpressModule slot in the chassis, as shown in Installing the HBA into a PCIe Slot.

5. When the HBA is fully inserted in the slot, pivot the ejection lever up to the locked position.
6. Connect SAS cables to the two external x4 mini-SAS connectors and attach the other end of the cables to the disk drives or other SAS/SATA devices, per your requirements.

   Use only Oracle-provided SAS cables (530-3887-01), available for purchase at: http://www.oracle.com

7. Observe the LEDs to ensure normal operation of the HBA.
