62 Installing System Components
3
Connect the interposer card to the optical drive.
Push the plungers into the captive fastener barrels until they snap into
place.
4
Connect the interface and power cables to the optical drive's interposer
card.
5
Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 55.
Configuring the Boot Drive
The drive or device from which the system boots is determined by the boot
order specified in the System Setup program. See "Using the System Setup
Program" on page 35. To boot the system from a hard drive or drive array, the
drive(s) must be connected to the appropriate controller:
• For systems using the integrated hard-drive controller, the master drive
(drive 0) must be connected to the SATA_0 connector on the system
board. To identify system board connectors, see Figure 6-2.
• For systems with a SAS controller installed, the hard drive must be
connected to the SAS controller card. See the documentation that
accompanied the controller card.
• To boot from a SAS RAID array, the drive must be connected to the RAID
controller card. See the documentation that accompanied the controller
card.
Hard Drives
Your system contains up to two non-hot-pluggable SATA or SAS hard drives.
If your system contains SAS hard drives, they must be connected to a SAS
controller card. The cables for hard drive 1 are routed through a cable clamp
mounted to the chassis.
