Before beginning the installation
Before beginning the installation procedure, visit the HP websit
that you have the latest version of each driver and utility file needed. Compare the version numbers of the
files there with those of the same files on the Smart Setup media.
Preparing the server
Before installing the controller in the server, back up all data. This step is required if you are moving
non-arrayed SCSI drives to a Smart Array controller, because data is not preserved during a move
between array controllers and non-array controllers.
If the server supports hot-pluggable devices, you can install the controller board without any further
preparation.
To prepare a server that does not support hot-pluggable devices:
1.
Close all applications.
2.
Power down the server.
CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be powered
down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not
erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is powered up.
3.
Power down all peripheral devices that are attached to the server.
4.
Unplug the AC power cord from the outlet and then from the server.
5.
Disconnect all peripheral devices from the server.
Installing the controller board
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the
safety information and user documentation provided with the server before attempting
the installation.
Many servers are capable of providing energy levels that are considered hazardous and are
intended to be serviced only by qualified personnel who have been trained to deal with
these hazards. Do not remove enclosures or attempt to bypass any interlocks that may
be provided for the purpose of removing these hazardous conditions.
