accordingly.
See the next step for optional connections using

Management” to see the disks. If the host is using SAS RAID
adapter, use the RAID Management Software to manage the
disks.

connecting a serial audio cable to the debug console port and
use a terminal console with baud rate 38400, 8, N, 1, N.
