Attention: The SAS connector sockets are recessed into the canister bezel, and
you cannot see connector and the socket lining up. The cable connector and socket
are keyed and it is important that you have proper alignment of the keys as the
cable is inserted. Otherwise it is difficult to make the connection. Ensure that each
SAS cable is fully inserted into the socket so that a proper connection is made. A
click is heard or felt when the cable is successfully inserted and you should not be
able to disconnect the cable without pulling on the blue tab at the top of the cable
connector. Figure 11 on page 18 shows the correct cable connection, in which less
of the cable and tab are visible. Figure 10 shows an incorrect connection, in which
more of the cable and tab are visible.

connected. To make sure that the cable is properly connected, pull outward
slightly on the cable (not the blue tab). If it comes out of the socket, it has not
been properly connected. Retry the connection until it is successfully connected.
