Installing the SAS Controller Daughter Card
The following procedure applies to either a SAS controller or a SAS RAID
controller daughter card.
1 Hold the daughter card by its edges and align the card with the slide rails
on the expansion-bay bracket. See Figure 3-28.
NOTE:
When pushing the SAS controller daughter card into the socket connector,
push only on the card edges and not on the DIMM or any part of the DIMM socket
on the daughter card.
2 Insert the card into the slide rails and slide the card down until the card-
edge connector seats into the dedicated storage socket (INT STORAGE)
on the system board. See Figure 3-14 and Figure 3-28.
3 If present, connect the battery cable to the battery cable connector on the
SAS controller daughter card.
If you need to replace the SAS daughter card battery, see "Replacing the SAS
RAID Controller Daughter Card Battery" on page 126.
