Removing the RAID Controller from the Computer
Follow these steps to remove the RAID controller from the computer.
1.
Turn off the power to the computer, and unplug the power cords.
2.
Remove the cover from the computer, using the instructions in the system user manual, to allow access to
the controller.
3.
Ground yourself before you touch the controller.
4.
Unplug all cables from the controller, remove the screw attaching the bracket to the computer chassis, and
carefully remove the controller from the slot.
5.
Place the controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface, and continue with the next procedure.
WARNING Ground yourself, and disconnect the power cords from the system before you remove the cover.
Also, make sure that the system is grounded.
NOTE Because server and workstation chassis vary from vendor to vendor, no standard mounting option is
compatible with the various system configurations. Therefore, the LSIiBBU07 battery kit contains only the
battery backup unit, the daughter card, and the standoff, which enables authorized resellers and chassis
manufacturers to customize the location of the remote battery to provide the most flexibility within
various environments.
WARNING Ground yourself, and disconnect the power cords from the system before you remove the cover.
Also, make sure that the system is grounded.
