5. Remove the microprocessor and memory expansion tray (see “Removing the
microprocessor and memory expansion tray assembly” on page 305) or DIMM
air baffle (see “Removing the DIMM air baffle” on page 232), whichever one is
installed.
6. Grasp the riser-card assembly by the blue touch points and pull it up until the
riser-card assembly disengages from the connector on the system board; then,
set it aside.
7. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted
surface on the outside of the server; then, grasp the adapter by the top edge
or upper corners of the adapter and remove it from the package.
8. Make sure that a full-height bracket is installed on the card.
9. Open the PCIe retention latch.
10. Align the adapter so that the keys align correctly with the connector on the
riser-card assembly.
11. Insert the adapter into the connector on the riser-card until it is firmly seated.
Attention: Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the server or the
adapter.
12. Close the PCIe retention latch.
13. Connect the SAS cables to the adapter.
14. Reinstall the riser-card assembly onto the system board.
15. Route the signal cables through the SAS cable guide and connect the signal
cables to the drive backplane.
Note: Follow the general rule for connecting the SAS signal cables to the
adapter and drive backplane: port 0 on the adapter to port 0 on the drive
backplane and port 1 on the adapter to port 1 on the drive backplane
(depending on the type of drive backplanes you installed in the server).
