Installing the external RAID controller card
This section describes how to install the external controller card.
To install the RAID controller card
- Put on an ESD wrist strap or take other ESD precautions.
- Locate PCIe riser assembly 2 slot 1. Riser 2 is located next to the power supply.
- Remove the PCIe riser assembly as follows.
Disengage the two hooks (1) from the chassis slots (2) that secure the riser 2 assembly to the chassis.
Grasp the riser assembly with both hands. With firm even pressure lift it out of the connector on the mainboard.
Slot 1 is on the bottom of the riser. Remove the screw that secures slot 1 to the riser assembly.
Remove the metal cover plate from slot 1.
- Remove the RAID controller card from the Expansion Storage Kit.
- Align the edge connector on the card with the bottom PCIe-card socket (or slot 1). The edge connector is keyed to install one way only.
- Firmly and evenly insert the card in the socket.
- Use the screw you removed earlier to secure the RAID controller card in the PCIe riser assembly.
- Connect the cable on the MFBU to the separate cable from the kit.
- Connect the MFBU cable to the rear of the RAID controller card.
- Reinstall the riser into the chassis.
Insert the hooks on the riser (1) into the slots on the chassis (2).
Firmly push down on edges of the assembly to engage the mainboard connector with the riser.
- Replace the air duct as follows:
Align the two latches at the back of the air duct (A) behind the fans. Press the latches in to secure them in the tabs.
Lower the front edge of the air duct to engage the two side tabs (B).
- Replace the chassis cover as follows.
Align the cover with the edge along the top of the chassis.
Place the cover on the chassis so that there is about 1.5 inches of overhang.
Use the blue tabs (1) to slide the cover forward until the cover slides into place.
Insert the four screws (2) and secure.
- Reinstall the appliance into the rack as needed.
Toward the rear of the chassis, locate the levers in the extensions on both sides of the appliance.
Push up and hold the levers to release the extension locking mechanism.
Slide the appliance into the rack. Do not force the appliance into the rack.
If you disconnected the data cables, reconnect them according to the labels you placed on them earlier.
