PCI Express* Slot AF003491 ® Figure 2. Installing Intel RAID Expander Card RES2SV240 5. (Optional) In case power can be supplied remotely from RA 4-pin 12V/5V power connector, the expander card can be located elsewhere within the server chassis instead of using a PCI Express slot, if only the cooling condition can meet the expander card's thermal and atmospheric requirement. The expander card can therefore be fastened by removing its bracket and fasten it to a customized chassis wall (see F

AF003495 Figure 3. Installing the Expander Card onto a Customized Chassis Wall 6. Connect the SAS/SATA cables from the backplane (or hard drives) to the expander card, and from the expander card to a RAID module or RAID controller (see Figure 4, which takes 6-drive and 4-drive non-expander backplanes in Intel's pedestal chassis as an example for cabling). For information regarding connecting the recommended Right-angle end or Vertical end of the SAS/SATA cable to the SAS connectors of the c
