Installing a SAS controller on the SAS riser card

Important: If you have installed a 4-disk-drive optional expansion device in a 12-drive-capable server, the
SAS controller is installed in a PCI riser-card assembly and is installed and removed the same way as any
other PCI adapter. Do not use the instructions in this topic; use the instructions in Installing a PCI adapter
and Removing a PCI adapter.
To install a SAS controller on the SAS riser card, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Make sure that the server is turned off, all external cables and power cords are disconnected,
and the cover has been removed.
Step 2. If you are installing a new or replacement SAS controller, touch the static-protective package that
contains the new SAS controller to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove
the SAS controller from the package.

Step 3. If you are installing a new or replacement SAS controller that uses a battery, complete the following
steps:
a. Remove the battery from the SAS controller package or the battery package.
b. Install the battery and connect the battery to the SAS controller as instructed in the
documentation that comes with the SAS controller or the battery.
Step 4. If the new SAS controller is a different physical size than the SAS controller you removed, you
might have to move the controller retention bracket (tape-enabled model servers only) to the
correct location for the new SAS controller. See Moving the SAS-controller retention bracket; then,
continue with the next step in this procedure.
