8. Refer to the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling
instructions. It might be easier for you to route cables before you install the
adapter.
9. Remove the adapter from the static-protective package.
Attention: Avoid touching the components and gold-edge connectors on the
adapter.
10. Place the adapter, component-side up, on a flat, static-protective surface.
11. Set any jumpers or switches as described by the adapter manufacturer.
12. Install the adapter:
a. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and align it with
the expansion slot on the system board.
b. Press the adapter firmly into the expansion slot.
Attention: When you install an adapter in the server, be sure that it is
completely and correctly seated in the system-board connector before you
apply power. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board
or the adapter.
c. When the adapter is fully seated, release the front adapter support bracket by
pushing inward on the latch. Make sure that the front adapter support
bracket holds the adapter securely in place.
d. If you opened the front adapter support bracket, rotate it to the closed
(locked) position; then, reinstall the rear adapter retaining bracket in the
server.
13. Connect any needed cables to the adapter.
Attention: Route cables so that they do not block the flow of air from the fans.
The following illustration shows how to reroute the SCSI cable. If you install a
ServeRAID™ adapter and intend to use it with hot-swap, hard disk internal
drives, remove the cable from the internal SCSI connector (J41) on the system
board and connect it to the ServeRAID adapter.
Note:
You can also install a ServeRAID adapter in non-hot-swap models;
however, non-hot-swap models do not support hot-swap hard disk
drives.
