Chapter 2 – Installation
Card Installation
Read the pre-installation notices earlier in this chapter before proceeding.
1. Remove the blanking plate from the
PCI-e slot.
2. Position the connector of the card over
the expansion slot.
3. Press the connector of the card gently
but firmly into the expansion slot until it
is correctly and securely seated.
4. Secure the metal bracket of the card to
the system case with a screw.
5. Go to the
Hard drive connection
.
Many mother boards only come with one PCI-Express interface. Before
installation ensure there is one free.
Hard Drive Connection
1. Attach Mini SAS cables to the
connectors on the card. One cable can
control a maximum of 4 HDDs.
2. Install the disks in the desired location,
for example within the system case or
within an independent disk rack.
3. Connect the other end of each cable to
the connectors on each of the hard
drives.
4. Attach a power connector to each drive,
either from the host system or from an
independent power source.
