- Slide Controller 1 into the service position.
- Connect the end of the cable labeled “CU 1 PCIE3-2” to port 2 in the PCIe3 slot on Controller 1, and route the cable through the CMA.Note: When inserted into the SAS HBA port, the blue tab of the mini-SAS HD connector faces the bottom of the port. The following image shows an example of how a mini-SAS HD connector inserts into a SAS HBA port.Figure 1 Mini-SAS HD connector and a SAS HBA port on the Controller
- Connect the end of the cable labeled “CU 1 PCIE3-3” to port 3 in the PCIe3 slot on Controller 1, and route the cable through the CMA.
- Slide Controller 1 into the rack position.
- Slide Controller 2 into the service position.
- Connect the end of the cable labeled “CU 2 PCIE3-2” to port 2 in the PCIe3 slot on Controller 2, and route the cable through the CMA.
- Connect the end of the cable labeled “CU 2 PCIE3-3” to port 3 in the PCIe3 slot on Controller 2, and route the cable through the CMA.
Result:If your system is configured with more than two SAS HBA cards, continue to connect the remaining mini-SAS HD to mini-SAS HD cables. Follow the information on the cable labels to connect and to route the remaining mini-SAS HD to mini-SAS HD cables.
