Follow the steps below to install your RAID Expander card and connect your internal

to the connectors on the midplane. Each connector is pre-programmed at the factory to
provide specific drive identification mapping. Improper connections may provide
undesirable drive mappings.
1. Turn off the power to the system, all drives, enclosures, and system components.
Remove the power cord(s).

3. Remove the release paper on the card bumpers and adhere them to the designated
locations on the bottom of the card.
4. Insert the expander card into the area between the fans and midplane. When
installed properly, the expander card bumpers should rest securely on the chassis
floor.
5. Using a Philips head screwdriver, secure the card to the standoffs on the chassis
with the three screws provided in the kit.
