Step 4

Install the Controller on the Motherboard

Insert the controller in a PCI Express slot on the 
motherboard, as shown in 

Figure 2

Press down gently but firmly to seat the card 
correctly in the slot. Secure the controller to the 
computer chassis with the bracket screw.

Note:

This is a PCI Express x8 card and it can operate 
in x8 or x16 slots. However, some PCI-E slots 
support only PCIe graphics cards; if a RAID 
controller is installed, it will not function.

Note:

Refer to your motherboard guide for information 
about the PCI Express slot.

SATA Controller

Step 5

Configure and Install the SAS Devices, SATA 
II Devices or Both

Configure the SAS devices, SATA II devices, or 
both, and install them in the external enclosure. 

Note

:

Refer to the documentation for the external 
devices for pre-installation configuration 
requirements.

Note

:

The controllers support SATA II protocols but not 
SATA I protocols. All references to SATA in this 
guide are to SATA II.

Step 6

Connect the Controller to the SAS Devices, 
SATA II Devices, or Both

Connect the cables between the controller and 
the SAS devices, SATA II devices, or both. Refer 
to the external device documentation to view 
connector locations for the external devices.

Note

:

Refer to the 

ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA 

Controller User’s Guide

 for information about the 

cables and the connectors.

Step 7

Turn on the Power to the Computer

 

Reinstall the computer cover and reconnect the 
power cords. 
Turn on the power to the computer, making sure 
that the power is turned on to the SAS devices 
and the SATA II devices before or at the same 
time as the host computer. If the power is turned 
on to the computer before it is turned on to the
