4.3 Installing a SAS/SATA Control Module

Hard disk drives are not supported on the NSN2U server by default. One of two

separately-orderable controller options is required. The SAS/SATA control module is

the solution for basic SAS/SATA drive support. If you need hardware RAID support,

however, please see Section 4.4, “Installing a Hardware RAID Module“.
Figure 29 shows the SAS/SATA control module, which adds SAS/SATA support for the

server. The module’s interface to the baseboard for integrated software RAID 0/1/10

capability is through a PCI Express bus flex cable (“A”) to the bridge board. The

SAS/SATA control module is located in the front left of the chassis between the power

supply system and the SAS/SATA backplane board. The module’s gold edge connector (“C”)

mates with the SAS/SATA backplane board.
