2.3 Connecting and powering RTX800-XJ
RTX800-XJ has two multi-lane SAS/SATA (SFF-8088) connections on the rear of
the unit. These connections can go to any host bus adapter so long as the proper
converter cable is attached. (RTX800-XJ Bundle includes
the appropriate cables.)
Plug in the SAS/SATA cable from your computer to the
RTX800-XJ. Plug in the power cord. With hard drives in
the unit, turn it on. RTX800-XJ is ready to use!
If the hard drives are already formatted, RTX can be used right away. If the hard
drives are brand new, or the formats are not compatible with your computer, the
drives will need to be formatted before being used.
2. Installation Steps
2.1 Installing a Host Bus Adapter (optional)
The following general steps will work for most cards.
Instructions for individual cards may vary, so consult your card’s user manual.
a. Power down the computer system.
b. Insert the adapter card into a compatible slot. Do not force it, but it will take rm
pressure to fully seat the interface. It may help to gently rock the card back and
forth as you apply pressure.
c. Once the card is fully seated in the slot, secure it in place with a screw.
d. Turn the computer back on.
2.2 Hard Drive Installation
a. Pull on the ejection handle and open the door.
b. Slide in your SAS or SATA hard drive, connector-end rst. The drive’s label should
be facing up.
c. Shut the door.
With RTX800-XJ, you can lock the bay for additional security, but make sure to unlock
it before pulling on the ejection handle again.
