5. Install the SAS card into the riser assembly. See

Section 4.5.2.2, “Installing the PCIe

Card and Riser Card Assembly” on page 4-10

Do not install the riser card into the server yet. It will be easier to connect the cables
with the card outside of the system.

6. Connect the SAS cables to the SAS card connectors. See

FIGURE 4-13

■

Connect the red cable to PHY 0.

■

Connect the blue cable to PHY 1.
