5. Press the ServeRAID-8k adapter firmly into the connector.
6. Mount the battery pack to the chassis, using the two mounting screws.
7. Plug the battery pack cable into the connector on the adapter.
8. If you are installing the ServeRAID-8k adapter into a simple-swap SATA model,
make the following cabling changes to enable RAID level-5 support:
a. Disconnect the signal cable from the Simple-swap SATA backplate
connector on the system board and connector it to the Hot-swap SAS/SATA
1 connector on the system board. See "System-board internal connectors"
on page 11 for the location of these connectors on the system board.
b. Connect the RAID level-5 enabler plug (that came with the system) to the
SAS/SATA backplane 1 connector on the system board.
