jmwills Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I finally unpacked the 2nd MicroServer tonight and did find the trick to unlocking the miniSAS cable. You need to get a small thin flat screwdriver and GENTLY insert below the clip you push in at the top. The cable will then slide right out. I now understand how people are running RAID Cards in these boxes.....one of those DUH moments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmwills Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Joe....where did you get the Dual NC card? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
