NOTE: Your server may look slightly different from the one illustrated.
5. Press the controller board firmly into the slot so that the contacts on the board
edge are properly seated in the system board connector.
6. Secure the board in place with the hot-plug latch or retaining screw.
7. Continue by following the instructions given in “Connecting the Cables.”
Connecting the Cables
Each port on the controller supports up to 14 drives. Ports 1 and 2 each have two
SCSI connectors, one for external storage units and one for internal hard drives in the
server. The two connectors for a given port cannot be used simultaneously. Ports 3
and 4 (present on the 5304 model, and also on the 5302 model with an attached 2- to
4-channel adapter) are only for external storage units.
Peripherals attached to any of the connectors must have a unique SCSI ID value in
the range of 0 to 15 (except ID 7, which is reserved for controller use). The SCSI ID
value determines the priority given to the device when it attempts to use the SCSI
bus.
