14.2 Install SAS HBAs
The first step is to install our two PCI Express SAS HBAs in the x3755 server. The x3755
User’s Guide contains instructions for correct installation of these cards. When the HBAs are
installed, we then use two SAS cables to attach each HBA to a separate controller on the
DS3200.
We can power on the server and configure the DS3000 storage subsystem.
