Figure 2: Installing an Adapter in a PCIe Slot
6. Configure and install the SAS, SATA, and PCIe (NVMe) devices in the host computer case.
Refer to documentation for the devices for any preinstallation configuration requirements.
7. Connect the adapter to the devices. Connect the appropriate cable with the connectors on one end to connect to the
adapter and the appropriate connector on the other end to attach to the backplane connector.
The maximum cable length is 1 meter (39.37 in.). A single wide-port SAS or multilane PCIe (NVMe) device cannot
connect to phys controlled by different SAS cores or PDBs. See
8. Provide the required airflow for the installed adapter. See
adapter's cooling requirements.
9. Turn on the power to the system. Reinstall the computer cover, and reconnect the AC power cords. Make sure
that the power is turned on to the storage devices before or at the same time that the power is turned on to the host
computer. Turn on power to the host computer. If the computer is powered on before these devices, the devices might
not be recognized.
During boot, a BIOS message appears. The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. The configuration utility
prompt times out after several seconds. The second portion of the BIOS message shows the adapter controller
number, firmware version, and cache SDRAM size. The numbering of the adapters follows the PCIe slot scanning
order used by the host motherboard.
