Install the Dell HBA350i MX

Prerequisites

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.

Steps

  1. Turn off the sled and any attached peripherals, and remove the sled from the MX chassis.
  2. Remove the system cover.
  3. Align the bracket notches with the tabs on the sides of the system and align the HBA350i MX card connector with the connector on the system board.
    NOTE: To prevent damage to the card, you must hold the card by its edges only.
  4. Press the HBA card onto the connector until it is firmly seated.
  5. Press the release latch to secure the card to the sled.
  6. Connect the SAS cable connectors to the card.
    NOTE: Ensure that you connect the cable according to the connector labels on the cable. If reversed, the cable does not function properly.
  7. Route the SAS data cable through the clip on the card and through the channel on the inner side of the chassis.
  8. Attach the connector that is labeled BP SAS to connector SAS A on the backplane, and attach the connector that is labeled CTRL SAS to SAS-cable on the controller card.
  9. Install the system cover.
  10. Insert the sled into the chassis and turn on the system and any attached MX chassis peripherals.
