5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the ServeRAID M5015
SAS/SATA adapter to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server;
then, grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners of the adapter and
remove it from the package.
6. Align the ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA adapter so that the keys align
correctly with the connector on the riser-card assembly.
7. Insert the SAS/SATA adapter into the connector on the SAS/SATA riser-card
until it is firmly seated.
Attention: Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the server or the
adapter.
8. Reinstall the riser-card assembly onto the system board.
9. Connect the power/configuration cable to the drive backplane and the system
board.
10. Connect the signal cable to the drive backplane and to the adapter. Be sure to
route the signal cables through the SAS cable guide and up and over the rear
of the microprocessor air baffle; then, through the loops on the scalability
connector cover and then to the adapter (see the following illustration). Use
the cable ties (as shown in the illustration) that come with the drive backplane
to secure the SAS cables so that they do not get in the way or get damaged.
Note: Follow the general rule for connecting the SAS signal cables to the
adapter and drive backplane, port 0 on the adapter to port 0 on the drive
backplane; then port 1 on the adapter to port 1 on the drive backplane, port 2
to port 2, and port 3 to port 3 (depending on the drive backplanes you
installed in the server).
