nected to the server. Please follow proper electrical grounding procedures.
2. Open the system case.
3. Connect the slim-line SAS connector (male) on the slim line SAS cable to the female connec-
tor on the auxiliary PCIe connection card.
4. Locate two available PCI Express slots on the server, one for the adapter card and one for the
auxiliary PCIe connection card.

Use the Slim-Line SAS harness and auxiliary PCIe connection card that are included
in the ConnectX-5 Socket Direct adapter card package contents.
For installing MCX556M-ECAT-S25, use the 25cm Slim-line SAS cable
(HAR000629) and its Auxiliary PCIe connection card (SA002142). Please see
Section 1.2, “Package Contents”, on page 11.
For optimal thermal performance, it is preferable to place the auxiliary PCIe connec-
