Description

Causes

You have not yet installed a SAS connectivity module or a SAS RAID controller module in I/O module bays 3 and 4.

Implications

The absence of a SAS connectivity module or a SAS RAID controller module in I/O module bays 3 and 4 generates this event.

Resolutions

If you are using the integrated, shared storage, you must install the proper SAS I/O module in I/O module bay 3. Depending on the configuration of the integrated, shared storage, you might also require a SAS I/O module in I/O module bay 4.
