2.3 Detailed Installation
This section provides detailed instructions for installing a MegaRAID SAS
RAID controller.
Step 1. Unpack the RAID Controller
Unpack and remove the MegaRAID SAS RAID controller.
Inspect it for damage. If it appears damaged, or if any of the
following items are missing, contact your LSI support
representative. The MegaRAID SAS RAID controller is shipped
with the following items:
– A CD containing MegaRAID drivers for supported
operating systems, an electronic version of this
User’s Guide, and other related documentation
– A license agreement
– Warranty information
Step 2. Turn off the Power to the System
Turn off the power to the computer, and disconnect the AC
power cord. Remove the computer cover. Refer to the system
documentation for instructions. Before you install the controller,
make sure that the computer is disconnected from the power
and from any networks.
Step 3. Review the MegaRAID Controller Jumpers and Controllers
The jumpers are set at the factory, and you usually do not need
to change them. See
Chapter 3, “MegaRAID SAS RAID
Controller Characteristics” for diagrams of the MegaRAID SAS
RAID controllers with their jumpers and connectors.
Step 4. Check the Memory Module
Make sure that the memory module is present and seated
firmly in the dual-inline memory module (DIMM) socket.
Note: The SAS 8704ELP, SAS 8708ELP, SAS 8708EM2, and
SAS 8880EM2 RAID controllers have on-board DDR2
memory. The SAS 8888ELP RAID controller has a mini-
DIMM socket for memory.
