Step 1—Preparing for component installation NOTE: Workstation models vary. All illustrations are examples only. Download and install updates Check for available system BIOS updates specified for your HP workstation model and operating system at http://www.hp.com/go/workstationsupport. Install the system BIOS updates, if available. Accessing the internal components of the workstation If you need help preparing the workstation for this installation, consult the removal and replacement procedures in the service guide for your workstation at... - Page 4 Step 2—Installing the SAS RAID controller card Install the SAS RAID controller card into the selected PCIe expansion slot on the system board. Ensure that the card is fully seated in the expansion slot. Close the expansion slot retention clamp to secure the card in the slot. Figure 2 Installing the SAS RAID controller card LSI MegaRAID®...
- Page 5 Step 3—Configuring the cabling The RAID controller card can be used to control SAS hard drives located in the internal hard drive bays, SAS hard drives located in the optical bays, and SAS hard drives external to the workstation. The data cable connections for RAID differ between workstation models. To determine the correct connection for your hard drives, identify the applicable HP workstation model and the location of the hard drive being connected in the following table.
- Page 6 RAID controller card features There are two selectable connectors on the card. Each internal connector supports up to four SAS hard drives. The number of external hard drives supported by an external connector depends on your preferred external device. One adapter cable—either internal or external—can be connected to each selectable connector.
- Page 7 Blind-mate data cable connections NOTE: This procedure assumes that the primary hard drive is located in HDD-BAY-0, and that all internal bays are being connected to the RAID controller. • It is not necessary to connect all internal drives or use all four of the connectors on the MiniSAS internal adapter cable.
- Page 8 To connect the SAS hard drive data cables to the MiniSAS 4i to 4X SATA internal adapter cable: Connect the HDD-BAY-0 cable to port 0 (P0) on the MiniSAS internal adapter cable. Match the subsequent HDD-BAY cables to the corresponding port on the MiniSAS internal adapter cable.
- Page 9 Standard data cable connections This section applies to SAS hard drives installed in all optical bays and the internal hard drive bays of HP xw Workstations and HP 400 Workstations. If connecting a SAS hard drive, ensure that there is a SAS-to-SATA interconnect cable adapter (supplied with the HP workstation SAS hard drive kit) to the data connector on the SAS hard drive.
- Page 10 To connect the first four hard drives: Attach the coupled end of the data cable to Internal connector 1 on the RAID controller Attach the four splitter cables on the other end of the data cable to the data cable connectors on the hard drives To connect power to the hard drives, see the hard drive product documentation.

Page 11: External Connections
For HP xw Workstations, if connecting small form factor hard drives: Connect the first four hard drives to the long 4-Port data cable with 90-degree connectors, and then attach the coupled end of the cable to Internal connector 1 on the RAID controller. Connect the remaining hard drives to the long 4-Port data cable with straight connectors, and then attach the coupled end of the cable to Internal connector 2 on the RAID controller. -
