Removing the RAID Controller from the Computer
Installing the LSICVM02 Kit
This section describes how to install the CVFM04 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.
NOTE Back up your data before you change your system configuration, or
you could lose data.
CAUTION Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage the CacheVault modules
and the RAID controller. Make sure that you install the CacheVault
modules at an ESD-safe workstation that meets the EIA-625 standard.
When you install the CacheVault modules, follow the
ESD-recommended practices in the latest revision of the
IPC-A-610 standard.
Perform the following tasks to attach the CVFM04 module directly to your RAID controller, install the CVPM02 module
on the remote mount board, connect the modules by cable, and then install the RAID controller and the remote
mount board on the motherboard.
NOTE This section shows installation of the CacheVault modules using the
MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i RAID controller. You can install the CacheVault
modules the same way using the MegaRAID SAS 9361-4i, 9380-4i4e,
and 9380-8e RAID controllers.
1. Remove the RAID controller from the computer. See Removing the RAID Controller from the Computer on page 5 .
2. Attach the CVFM04 module directly to the RAID controller. See Attaching the CVFM04 Module Directly to the
RAID Controller on page 6 .

4. Attach the CVPM02 module to the clip. See Attaching the CVPM02 Module to the Clip on page 8 .
5. Connect the CVFM04 module to the remote CVPM02 module. See Connecting the CVFM04 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 .
