* Supported HBAs: Sun StorageTek PCIe SAS 8-Port Internal HBA, SGXPCIE8SAS-I-Z, LSI SAS 1068E and Sun
StorageTek SAS RAID 8-Port Internal HBA, SG-XPCIESAS-R-INT-Z, Adaptec/Intel-based
Verify Hard Drives
Use the PCIe HBA's BIOS utility to verify that the card sees the hard drives.
When using the Sun StorageTek (Adaptec) HBA card, you must first initialize the
■
hard drives using the card's BIOS (even for single-disk configurations) so the an
OS can see the drives (use the Adaptec-based procedure below). The LSI card
automatically manages this step and does not require manual initialization of
drives (use the LSI-based procedure below).

Remove protective covers from the connectors on the card and install the HBA
(PCIe SAS 8-port internal disk controller)
Take the free end of the cable that is attached to the disk backplane on the left-
hand side (disks 0-3) and connect it to the Mini-SAS x4 connector on the card
labeled Port 0, 0-3.
Take the free end of the cable that is attached to the disk backplane on the right-
hand side (disks 4-7) and connect it to the Mini-SAS x4 connector on the card
labeled Port 1, 4-7.
