Installing the PERC H730P MX adapter card

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.
NOTE:It is recommended that you always use a static mat and static strap while working on components in the interior of the system.
  1. Turn off the sled and any attached peripherals, and remove the sled from the MX chassis.
  2. Open the sled.
  3. Align the bracket notches with the tabs on the sides of the sled and align the PERC 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 PERC card onto the connector until it is firmly seated.
  5. Press the release lever to secure the card to the sled.
  6. Connect the SAS data cable connector to the card.
    NOTE:Ensure that you connect the cable according to the connector labels on the cable. The cable does not function properly if reversed.
  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 labeled "BP SAS" to connector SAS A on the backplane, and attach the connector labeled "CTRL SAS" to SAS-cable connector on the controller card.
