Installing a SCSI or ServeRAID adapter (some models)
Complete the following steps to install a SCSI or ServeRAID adapter.
1. If you have not already installed the SCSI adapter, complete steps 1 through 10 of
“Installing an adapter” on page 9. Then, return here to complete the installation.
2. Connect one end of the SCSI signal cable (purchased separately) to the adapter
and one or more of the signal cable connectors to the rear of the SCSI devices.
3. Connect the SCSI activity indicator cable (purchased separately) to the adapter
and to the SCSI LED connector (J3) on the system board. See “System and PCI
extender board internal cable connectors” on page 4 for the location of this
connector.
Note:
If you are installing a ServeRAID adapter and already have a SCSI
adapter installed, remove the SCSI adapter and store it for future use.
4. If you have another adapter to install or remove, do so now.
5. Rotate the front adapter support bracket to the closed (locked) position.
6. Reinstall the rear adapter retaining bracket; then, rotate the bracket to the closed
(locked) position.
7. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
8. Install the side cover, see “Installing the cover” on page 23 for details.
9. Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the peripheral
devices and the server.
