General Installation Process
6
Power up the System
Reinstall the computer cover, and reconnect the power cords. Turn on
the power to the host computer. Make sure that the power is turned on
to the SAS devices and the SATA III devices before or at the same time
that the power to the host computer is turned on. If the power is
turned on to the host computer before it is turned on to the devices,
the host computer might not recognize the devices.
The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. During this time, the
RAID controller scans the ports.
