IBM eserver xSeries 350 User Reference Manual page 57

The following procedure describes the cable routing that is necessary when you install
a ServeRAID adapter. You can also cable a ServeRAID adapter to external hard disk
drives.
Notes:
1. See the documentation that comes with your adapter for any cabling instructions.
2. Cable identifiers are printed on the cables that come with your server and
options. Use these identifiers to connect the cables to the correct connectors. For
example, the hard disk drive cables are labeled HDD.
To cable the ServeRAID adapter:
1. Turn off the server.
2. Remove all adapters from the Active PCI adapter slots.
3. Remove the plastic dividers between the PCI adapter slots.
4. Slide the fan assembly toward the front of the server and lift to remove it.
5. Disconnect the internal SCSI cable from the SCSI connector (J38) on the system
board. See page 32 for the location of the SCSI connector on the system board.
6. Carefully thread the disconnected end of the internal SCSI cable out of the chassis,
pulling the cable out of the opening in the chassis.
7. Reinstall the fan assembly in the server.
8. Replace the plastic dividers between the PCI adapter slots.
9. Reinstall the adapters in the PCI adapter slots.
10. Install the ServeRAID adapter in the selected PCI slot. See "Installing a hot-plug
adapter" on page 43 for adapter installation instructions. See your ServeRAID
adapter option documentation for additional information on installing a
ServeRAID adapter in your server and connecting the SCSI cable to a ServeRAID
adapter.
