About this task
Note: When you insert a SAS cable, make sure that the
connector is oriented correctly.
- The pull tab must be below the connector.
- Insert the connector gently until it clicks into place. If you feel resistance, the connector is probably oriented the wrong way. Do not force it.
- When inserted correctly, the connector can only be removed by pulling the tab.
