Align the controller with a PCIe slot. Press down gently, but firmly, to correctly seat the controller 
in the slot. The following figure shows how to insert the controller in a PCIe slot.

5.

Secure the controller bracket to the system chassis. 

Install the bracket screw, if 

applicable, or engage the system retention mechanism to secure the controller to the 
system chassis.

6.

Install the Flash Power Module on the system chassis. Then connect the Flash Power 
Module by cable to the Memory Module on your ServeRAID M5225-2GB controller. 

Refer to the 

ServeRAID M5225-2GB SAS/SATA Controller User’s Guide

 for detailed instructions.

7.

Connect SAS cables between the controller and a storage enclosure.

 Connect serial 

cables between the controller and a storage enclosure containing SATA devices and/or SAS 
devices. The controller uses two SFF-8644 mini-SAS HD-4e external connectors to connect 
to the external storage enclosure. You may use other cables as long as they conform to the 
controller specifications and limitations as outlined in the 

ServeRAID M5225-2GB SAS/SATA 

Controller User’s Guide

.

8.

Replace the cover and any power cords, and power up the system.

 Replace the chassis 

cover, reconnect any power cords, devices, and network cables. Turn on the power. 

NOTE: 

The shape, size, and locations of components on your controller and its 

bracket might vary from this illustration. The controller requires an x8 
PCIe slot. Some PCIe slots support only PCIe graphics cards; a controller 
installed in one of these slots will not function. Refer to the guide for 
your motherboard for information about the PCIe slot.
