V40z add-on PCI RAID Card

Hi,

Just received a pair of v40zs, each ordered with a PCI-x RAID Card
(X9884A), which is an LSI Megaraid 320-2x. Apparently, since this is
new, no one at Sun knows exactly how to put this card in the system and
connect it to the SCSI back plane.

>From the few lines I found about it in the v40z manual online - I should
be using the PCI Slot0 (under the power supply cage), and connect a
cable to the SCSI back plane. The question is, channel A is already
connected, should I just remove it and extend the cable to connect it on
the PCI card, or use some sort of an extension cable if it's not long
enough? Is there a specific way it has to be routed?

Although it's simple, I would like to do this the correct way if
possible. Appreciate if anyone can share the knowledge!

Thanks,

Anjan
