About this task
To connect the SAS cables to the server, complete the following tasks:
Procedure
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. Using the labels on the cables, based on your configuration, insert the SAS cables into the PCIe cards
as shown in the following figure.
Note: Don't remove the blue dust covers that cover some ports. The dust covers identify ports that
shouldn't be used during SAS cable installation. Don't plug SAS cables into ports that are blocked by
dust covers.
