If you are adding the DAC960PDU controller to an

guide to install the controller in PCI slot P05. Once you
have installed the controller, perform the following
cabling procedure.

1.

Power off the system.

2.

Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the
beginning of this chapter.

3.

Remove the left side panel as described in Chapter 5
“Removing a Side Panel”.

4.

Carefully remove the ultra wide SCSI interface
cable connector from its connector on lower right-
hand side of the system board (see Figure A-1, J).

5.

Route the ultra wide SCSI interface cable (just
removed from the lower right-hand side of the
system board) up to the RAID controller and plug it
into the channel 0 connector on the RAID controller
board (see Figure A-4).

6.

Replace the left side panel, power on the system and
run the DACCF utility to configure your new RAID
array (refer to Configuring the RAID Controller).
