RAID Controller Card Cable Routing

If the PCIe card that you are installing or replacing is a RAID controller card, see RAID Controller Considerations, page C-1for required cables and cable routing guidelines.

See also Replacing the SuperCap Power Module (RAID Backup Unit), page 3-41for instructions on installing a RAID backup unit for a RAID controller card.
