1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new ServeRAID SAS
controller to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the
ServeRAID SAS controller from the package.
2. Turn the new ServeRAID SAS controller so that the keys on the bottom edge
align correctly with the connector.
3. Firmly press the ServeRAID SAS controller straight down into the connector by
applying pressure on both ends of the controller simultaneously. The retaining
clips snap into the locked position when the controller is firmly seated in the
connector.

controller has not been correctly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips
and remove the controller; then, reinsert the controller.
