3. This will leave unused SAS cabling within the server because the other SAS connector is not
required in this configuration. If you are using the supplied SAS cable, do NOT remove tie wrap
or cover on the spare connector. If you are using the Infiniband cable, coil and secure the unused
cabling so that it does not interfere with other components inside the server.
4. Now go to “Secure the drive” on page 36.
Option 3: Connect cable to port on host SAS controller and replace existing
SAS cable
