4. After installing the adapter, attach hard drives to the host adapter using the data cable. Each
Mini‐SAS cable can direct connect up to 4 hard drives. Consult the chassis manual for proper
installation procedures.
Note: Many server‐level chassis include hard‐drive hot‐swap bays. For these system chassis, cables
are attached to the chassis backplane, rather than directly to each individual hard drive. Consult the
chassis manual for proper installation procedures.
5. Close and secure the system chassis.
3 ‐ Verifying Installation
Once the host adapter and hard drives have been installed into the chassis, boot‐up the system to
verify that the hardware is properly recognized.
1. Power on the system. If the system detects the presence of the adapter, the BIOS Utility will be
displayed 3 minutes during boot up.
2. Then, continue to running system.
