5. Disconnect the existing SATA controller cable from the hard disk drive
backplate and from the controller; then, remove them from the server.
6. Connect the ServeRAID-8s controller connector end (see Figure 1 on page 28)
of the optional 4-drop combination signal and power simple-swap SATA cable
to the ServeRAID-8s controller card; then, for each installed drive, attach one
drop from the 4-drop end of the cable to the drive backplate connector (see
Figure 1 on page 28) on the drive cage backplate and connect the power
connector to a power drop on the system power cable. Route the cable as
shown in the following illustration.

7. Replace the front system fan assembly.
a. Insert the fan assembly retaining tab over the right edge of the hard disk
drive backplate; then, rotate the fan assembly toward the backplate. Do not
fully close the fan assembly.
b. Route the 4-drop end of the combination signal and power cable through
one of the slots on the edge of the fan assembly; then, route the hard disk
drive power drop cable through the other slot on the edge of the fan
assembly. Ensure that the cables will not be pinched between the fan
assembly and the hard disk drive backplate when the fan assembly is
installed.
c. Rotate the fan assembly toward the backplate until the release tabs are
fully engaged.
d. Rotate the drive cage back into the server until it stops; then, press and
hold the retaining tab on top of the drive cage while rotating the drive cage
into the chassis until it locks into place.
8. Reconnect the fan assembly cable to the system board.
Note:
Before you continue, check all internal power cables to make sure that
they are connected to the system board and other optional devices.
9. Install the side cover (see “Reinstalling the side cover” on page 34).
