2 - Installing the RocketRAID Host Adapter

Note: Make sure the system is powered-off before installing the RocketRAID host adapter. Illustration
below shows the RR2740.

1. Open the system chassis and locate an unused PCI-Express x16.
2. Remove the PCI slot/bracket cover.
3. Gently insert the RocketRAID card into the PCI-Express slot, and secure the bracket to the system
chassis.


4. After installing the adapter, attach hard drives to the host adapter using the appropriate data cable.

Note: Many server-level chassis include hard-drive hot-swap bays. For these system chassis, cables are
attached to the chassis backplane, rather than directly to each individual hard drive. Consult the chassis
manual for proper installation procedures.

5. Close and secure the system chassis.
