NOTICE:
Do not route card cables over or behind the cards. Cables routed over the
cards can prevent the system cover from closing properly or cause damage to the
equipment.
9 Using the appropriate interface cable, connect the SAS controller card
(connector 0) directly to the internal hard drives or to the SAS backplane,
if installed.
NOTE:
The cable must be connected according to the connector labels on
the cable. The cable does not operate if reversed.
10 Connect the SAS cable, LED cable, and RAID battery cable (if applicable)
to the SAS controller card.
NOTE:
For battery-cached SAS/RAID controllers, install the RAID battery (see
"Installing a RAID Battery" on page 102).

13 Reattach any peripherals you disconnected, then connect the system to
the electrical outlet.
