This section describes how to install the CVFM02 module and the CVPM02 module, connect the modules, and then
insert the RAID controller and the remote mount board into PCIe slots on the motherboard.
When you remove the CacheVault modules from their antistatic bags, inspect them for damage. Unpack the modules
in a static-free environment. If a module appears to be damaged, or if the MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD is
missing, contact your place of purchase.
ATTENTION Back up your data before you change your system configuration, or
you could lose data.
CAUTION Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the CVFM02 module and the
MegaRAID controller. Make sure that you install the CVFM02 module
at an ESD-safe workstation that meets the requirements of EIA-625 –
“Requirements For Handling Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive
Devices.” When you install the CVFM02 module, follow the
ESD-recommended practices in the latest revision of IPC-A-610.
Perform the following tasks to attach the CVFM02 module directly to your RAID controller and then by cable to the
CVPM02 module on a remote mount board.
NOTE This section documents installation of the CacheVault modules using
the MegaRAID SAS 9266-8i RAID controller. You can install the Cache-
Vault modules the same way on the MegaRAID SAS 9266-4i, 9271-4i,
9271-8i, and 9271-8iCC RAID controllers.
1. Remove the RAID controller from the computer. See Removing the RAID Controller from the Computer on page 5 .
2. Attach the CVFM02 module directly to the RAID controller. See Attaching a CVFM02 Module Directly to a
MegaRAID Controller on page 6 .
3. Install the clip on the remote mount board. See Installing the Clip on the Remote Mount Board on page 7 .
4. Attach the CVPM02 module to the clip. See Attaching the CVPM02 Module to the Clip on page 8 .
5. Connect the CVFM02 module to the remote CVPM02 module. See Connecting the CVFM02 Module to the Remote
CVPM02 Module on page 9 .
6. Reinstall the RAID controller on the motherboard. See Reinstalling the RAID Controller on the Motherboard on
page 10 .
7. Install the remote mount board on the motherboard. See Installing the Remote Mount Board in the System on
page 11 .
3.1 Removing the RAID Controller from the Computer
Follow these steps to remove the RAID controller from the computer.
1. Turn off the power, and unplug the power cords.
2. Ground yourself, and make sure that the system is grounded.
3. Remove the cover from the computer, according to the instructions in the system user’s manual, to permit access
to the controller.
4. Unplug all cables from the controller, remove the screw that attaches the bracket to the computer chassis, and
carefully remove the controller from the slot.
5. With the front side up, place the RAID controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface.
