SAS Controller Expansion Card
Read the installation instructions in the documentation for your SAS
controller card. Install the card in the expansion card connector (see
"Installing an Expansion Card" on page 78), and connect the hard-drive
activity indicator cable from the card to the HD_ACT_CARD (AUXLED1)
connector on the system board (see Figure 6-1 for the connector location).
Secure the cables to the slots to manage the slack.
See "Hard Drives" on page 68 for information about connecting hard drives.
