Installing the SAS RAID Controller Daughter Card

1Hold the SAS RAID controller daughter card by its edges and align the card with the slide rails on the expansion-bay bracket. See Figure 3-26.

NOTE: When pushing the SAS RAID controller daughter card into the socket connector, push only on the card edges and not on the DIMM or any part of the DIMM socket on the SAS RAID controller daughter card.

2Insert the card into the slide rails and slide the card down until the card-edge connector seats into the dedicated storage socket (INT STORAGE) on the system board. See Figure 3-8 and Figure 3-26.

3Connect the battery cable to the battery cable connector on the SAS RAID controller daughter card. See Figure 3-25.

4Connect the hard drive LED activity indicator cable to the SAS RAID controller daughter card and to the system board connector (HD_ACT_CARD). See Figure 3-26 and Figure 6-2.

If you need to replace the SAS RAID controller daughter card battery, see "Replacing the SAS RAID Controller Daughter Card Battery" on page 92.
