Install the desired LSI controller to the appropriate slot in the system

a. For the LSI 9364-8i, the adapter must install to an available PCIe slot. Note that CPU2

must be populated for slot 6, slot 7, or slot 8 to be used. Refer to the system label for

slot locations.

Lift the card retention handle and remove the PCI blank for the slot to be

used.

Install the LSI 9364-8i into the PCIe slot.

Install the LSI ROC card air baffle on top of the LSI 9364-8i card.

Close the card retention handle.

b. For the LSI SAS/SATA FLEX RAID Adapter, the card must install to one of the FLEX

Connectors on the motherboard. Note that CPU2 must be populated for the (white)

FLEX Connector #2 to be used. Refer to the system label for FLEX Connector locations.

Lift the card guide tab near the FLEX Connector

Install the FLEX Adapter into the slot making sure the card guide is engaged on

the right side of the card.

Close the card guide tab to secure the adapter.

2. Locate the mini-SAS HD cable (labeled S/X) from the lower BCA-S (bays 1 and 2) and attach it to

the connector on the LSI controller. For LSI 9364-8i, connect the S/X cable to Port 0 (right) on

the card. For the LSI SAS/SATA FLEX RAID Adapter, connect the S/X cable to P1 on the FLEX

Adapter.

3. Locate the mini-SAS HD cable (labeled S/X) from the upper BCA-S (bays 3 and 4) and attach it to

the connector on the LSI controller. For LSI 9364-8i, connect the S/X cable to Port 1 (left) on the

card. For the LSI SAS/SATA FLEX RAID Adapter, connect the S/X cable to P2 on the FLEX Adapter.

4. Once AC power is applied to the system, the BCA(s) should now illuminate LEDs to indicate

which ports are active as well as which drive types (SATA and SAS) are supported.

5. Install all drives to the FLEX Trays. Note that with LSI controllers, each FLEX Tray can support up

to two drives (one 3.5" drive and one 2.5" drive per tray; certain physical limitations apply).

6. Insert the populated FLEX Tray(s) fully into the bay, and push the pull-bar feature such that it is

flush with the bay.
