10. If you are installing the ServeRAID-8k adapter into a simple-swap SATA model,
make the following cabling changes to enable RAID level-5 support:
a. Disconnect the signal cable from the Simple-swap SATA backplate
connector on the system board and connector it to the Hot-swap
SAS/SATA 1 connector on the system board. See “System-board internal
connectors” on page 18 for the location of these connectors on the system
board.
Note:
Remove the dust shield (if one is present) from the Hot-swap
SAS/SATA 1 signal connector on the system board before installing the
signal cable. Carefully grasp the dust shield and pull it out of the signal
connector.
