Install the HBA SAS Cable Assembly
This is a cold-service procedure that must be performed by qualified service
personnel. The server must be completely powered down before performing this
procedure.
-
Carefully guide SAS cables along the side of the chassis.
-
Install the SAS cables into the drive backplane (1).
The SAS cable ends that connect to the drive backplane are different, one is
horizontal and one is vertical. Install each cable end into the appropriate
connector.
-
Connect the SAS cables to the internal HBA card (2).
-
Install the PCIe riser with the internal HBA card into PCIe slot 3.
See Install the PCIe Riser Into PCIe Slots 3 and 4.
-
Install all of the server fan modules.
See Install a Fan Module.
-
Install the server mid-wall.
-
Position the mid-wall over the front of the motherboard so that it
engages the mushroom-shaped standoffs that are located on the server
chassis sidewall (one for each end of the mid-wall).
-
Ensure that SAS cables are not pinched by the mid-wall and that they
run beside the mid-wall and not under it.
-
Tighten the four green captive screws to secure the mid-wall to the
server chassis, use No. 2 Phillips screwdriver.
-
Replace the air baffle.
-
Return the server to operation.
