2.3.2.3 Reinstalling the RAID Controller on the Motherboard
Follow these steps to reinstall the RAID controller on the motherboard.
1. With the power to the chassis still turned off, and the power cords unplugged, make sure that the chassis is
grounded and has no AC power.
2. Install the RAID controller into a PCIe slot on the motherboard, as shown in the following figure.
3. Press down gently, but firmly, to seat the card correctly in the slot.
The bottom edge of the RAID controller must be flush with the slot.
CAUTION Never apply pressure to the LSIiBBU06 unit when you insert the RAID
controller. Instead, press down only on the top edge of the RAID
controller, as shown in the following figure.
NOTE This controller is a PCIe x8 card, and it can operate in x8 or x16 slots.
Some PCIe slots, however, support only PCIe graphics cards; if a
controller is installed in one of these slots, the controller will not
function. Refer to the guide for your motherboard for information
about the PCIe slot.
