Step 12. Do one of the following, depending on whether you are configuring for single or dual channel

support:

a. Single Channel Support: Plug the end of the A7231-63024 single channel cable labeled

“PORT 1” into PORT A2 of the HP Smart Array controller card (see Figure 7-14). The cable connectors are marked for clarity. The excess cable goes between PCI slots 3 and 4 and part of the cable must be folded down (90 degrees). Be sure it lies flush against the HP Smart Array controller card to prevent it from obstructing access to the other PCI slots. The other part of the cable that is labeled Channel A (bottom) should exit the PCI cage flush against where the PCI board cover and cable channel fit on the PCI cage (see Figure 7-16).

NOTE Do not reinstall the PCI cage or plug the other end of the cable into the hard drive

backplane yet. You do this later.

b. Dual Channel Support: Plug the ends of the A7231-63024 dual channel cable labeled “PORT

1” and “PORT 2” into PORT A2 and PORT A1, respectively, of the HP Smart Array controller card (see Figure 7-15). The cable connectors are marked for clarity. The excess cable goes between PCI slots 3 and 4 and part of the cable must be folded down (90 degrees). Be sure it lies flush against the controller card to prevent it from obstructing access to the other PCI slots. The
