4.3 Installing the Storage Expander
This section describes how to install the Storage Expander into your computer cabinet or server.
Follow the steps below to install your Storage Expander card and connect your internal or external storage devices.
Caution: Be sure to handle the expander by its edges only and touch a grounded metal object before handling the
expander card.
1. Turn off the power to the system, all drives, enclosures, and system components. Remove the power cord(s).
2. Remove the server cover. For instructions, see your server system documentation.
3. Remove the release paper on the card bumpers and adhere them to the designated locations on the bottom
of the card.
4. Insert the expander card into the area between the fans and backplane. When installed properly, the expander
card bumpers should rest securely on the chassis floor.
Figure 3. Installing the Expander Card

Intel® Storage Expander RES3TV360 Hardware User’s Guide

5. Using a Philips head screwdriver, secure the card to the standoffs on the chassis with the three screws
provided in the kit.
6. Connect serial cables between the expander card and internal drives, as required. Connect serial cables
between the expander card and the host SAS or RAID controller.
Caution: Follow the instructions carefully when connecting the connectors from the SAS expander to the connectors on the
midplane. Each connector is pre-programmed at the factory to provide specific drive identification mapping. Improper
connections may provide undesirable drive mapping.

6Solving Problems
This section provides basic troubleshooting information and solutions for solving problems with your Storage
Expander.
6.1 Troubleshooting Checklist
If you encounter difficulties installing or using your Storage Expander, check these items first:
•Ensure that your expander is connected to a RAID controller correctly, check the input and output ports on page 10.
•With your computer powered off, check the connections to each disk drive, power supply, LED connector, and so
on.
•Try disconnecting and reconnecting disk drives from the expander.
•Check that your expander is installed in a compatible PCIe expansion slot. To double-check the bus compatibility
of your expander, see Chapter 3 About Your Storage Expander on Page 3.
•Ensure that your expander is firmly seated and secured in the PCIe expansion slot.
•If your expander is not detected during system boot, try installing it in a different compatible expansion slot. (See
Installing the Storage Expander section on Page 9 for instructions.)
•If you have external disk drives (or other devices), are they powered on and working?
