5. Configure and install SAS devices, SATA devices, or both in the host computer case.
Refer to the documentation for the devices for any preinstallation configuration requirements.
6. Connect the RAID controller to SAS devices, SATA devices, or both in the host computer case.
Use SAS cables to connect the RAID controller to SAS devices, SATA devices, or both. See Figure 2 to view the
connector locations.
7. Turn on the power to the computer.
Reinstall the computer cover, and reconnect the power cords. Turn on the power to the computer. Make sure that
the power is turned on to the SAS devices and the SATA devices before or at the same time that the power to the
host computer is turned on. If the power is turned on to the computer before it is turned on to the devices, the
computer might not recognize the devices.
The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. During this time, the controller scans the ports.
NOTE Refer to the 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS RAID Controllers User Guide on the MegaRAID Universal Software
Suite CD for detailed information about the SAS cables.
