Step 2. Turn off the Power to the System
Turn off the power to the computer, and remove the AC power
cord. Remove the computer cover. Refer to the system
documentation for instructions. Before installing 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 the
Chapter 3, “MegaRAID SAS RAID
Controller Characteristics” for diagrams of the MegaRAID SAS
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.
Step 5. Install the MegaRAID SAS RAID Controller
Select a PCI Express or PCI-X slot, and align the controller’s
PCI Express or PCI-X bus connector to the slot. Press down
gently but firmly to make sure that the card is seated correctly
in the slot. Secure the bracket to the computer chassis.
