Refer to the documentation for the devices for any preinstallation configuration requirements.
6. Connect the RAID Controller to the SAS Devices, SATA Devices, or Both in the Host Computer Case
Use SAS cables to connect the RAID controller to SAS devices, SATA devices, or both. See Figure 2 to view the
connector locations.
7. Turn on the Power to the Computer
Reinstall the computer cover, and reconnect the power cords. Turn on the power to the computer. Make sure that
the power is turned on to the SAS devices and/or the SATA devices before or at the same time that the power to
the host computer is turned on. If the power is turned on to the computer before it is turned on to the devices, the
computer might not recognize the devices.
The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. During this time, the controller scans the ports.

Run the WebBIOS Configuration Utility to configure the groups and the virtual drives. When the message Press
for WebBIOS
appears on the screen, immediately press CTRL+H to run the utility.
