IBM 79463AU Installation And User Manual Download Page 99

Attention:

To avoid damage to the hardware, make sure that the black dot

on the remote battery cable connector faces away from the interposer card on
the adapter. Do not force the remote battery cable into the connector.

8. Install the RAID adapter on the riser-card and install the riser-card assembly in

the server (see “Replacing a PCI riser-card assembly” on page 63).

9. Route the remote battery cable as shown in the illustration, depending on the

PCI slot in which the RAID adapter is installed.

Chapter 2. Installing optional devices
