SAS Controller Daughter Card
Your system includes a dedicated slot on the sideplane for a SAS controller daughter card. The SAS controller daughter card provides the SAS storage
subsystem for your system's internal hard drives. The optional SAS RAID controller daughter card allows you to set up any internal hard drives in a RAID
configuration. Although the cabling for the two types of daughter cards is different (the SAS controller daughter card has only one connector, while the SAS
RAID controller daughter card has two), both cards install into the sideplane as described below. The SAS RAID controller daughter card is shown in
Figure 3 -
12 .
Installing a SAS Controller Daughter Card
1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
2. Open the system. See Opening the System .
3. Disconnect the control panel cable from the sideplane board. See Removing the Control Panel Assembly .
4. Hold the SAS daughter card by its edges with the card connector facing the sideplane board.
5. Aligning the chassis slots on the SAS daughter card tray with the corresponding hooks on the chassis, insert the card connector into the SAS daughter
card connector on the sideplane board. See
Figure 3 -12 .
Ensure that the card is aligned with the mid-section standoff on the SAS controller daughter card and fully seat the card in the sideplane board.
