SAS Controller Daughter Card | Dell DL2000 manual

SAS Controller Daughter Card

Your system includes a dedicated slot on the sideplane for a SAS controller daughter card. The SAS controller daughter card provides the SAS storage subsystem for your system’s internal hard drives. The SAS controller daughter card is shown in Figure 3-12.

Installing a SAS Controller Daughter Card

1Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.

2Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 67.

3Disconnect the control panel cable from the sideplane board. See "Removing the Control Panel Assembly" on page 122.

4Hold the SAS daughter card by its edges with the card connector facing the sideplane board.

5Aligning the chassis slots on the SAS daughter card tray with the corresponding hooks on the chassis, insert the card connector into the SAS daughter card connector on the sideplane board. See Figure 3-12.

Ensure that the card is aligned with the mid-section standoff on the SAS controller daughter card and fully seat the card in the sideplane board.
