you
must
consider
when
installing

v
Locate
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
adapter
and
follow
those
instruction
in
addition
to
the
instructions
in
this
section.
If
you
have
to
change
switch
settings
or
jumper
settings
on
the
adapter,
follow
the
instructions
that
come
with
the
adapter.
v
To
ensure
that
a
ServeRAID-10i,
ServeRAID-10is,
or
ServeRAID-10M
adapter
works
correctly
in
your
UEFI-based
server,
make
sure
that
the
adapter
firmware
is
at
the
latest
level.
Important:
Some
cluster
solutions
require
specific
code
levels
or
coordinated
code
updates.
If
the
device
is
part
of
a
cluster
solution,
verify
that
the
latest
level
of
code
is
supported
for
the
cluster
solution
before
you
update
the
code.
