Installing the Controller
☛
Note
If a Battery Backup Unit (BBU) is to be installed, it
should be done before the controller is installed into
the host system. Refer to Appendix A for information
on installing the BBU.
Follow these steps:
1. Power-off all enclosures and the system components and disconnect
their power cords.
2. Remove the covers or the cabinet as necessary to access the I/O slots on
the system board.
3. Choose a vacant PCI slot and remove the metal cover plate from the
slot’s access port (usually at the back of the cabinet). Save the retaining
screw.
4. Plug the controller firmly into the PCI slot so that the controller’s
external connectors can be accessed through the access port. Use the
retaining screw to secure the controller by its mounting bracket.
5. Connect the cables from the disk array(s) to the drive channel port(s)
on the controller.
6. Look to confirm that all drive channels in use are properly terminated.
7. Safety check the installation.
8. Reconnect the power but DO NOT POWER ON the system at this time.
9. Proceed to the next chapter.
