Install the SV4000 chassis with the SV4-RKKIT in an equipment rack The following instructions apply to the SV4-RKKIT rail kit. 1. Un-package the SV4-RKKIT rail kit. The rail kit is provided with the rail inner channel nested in the outer channel. Front of rack Outer channel Inner channel Rail assembly as shipped (inner channel nested in outer channel) 2.
—— For square-hole racks, extend the outer channel so that the tangs at each end fit into the square holes in the vertical rack posts. Secure the channel to the rack using hardware provided with the rack. —— For round-hole racks, attach the rack brackets provided in the kit to the vertical rack posts. Install two brackets for each outer channel - one on each of the front post, and one on each of the back post - using screws provided with the rack. See the example below.
2. Starting at bay 1 and increasing sequentially, remove a drive tray from the bay for each HDD you are installing. To remove the drive tray, push in the tray lever release button, then use the tray lever to pull the tray out of the bay. 3. Install an HDD in each drive tray as follows: NOTE: Use proper ESD procedures when handling HDDs. a. Position the HDD in the drive tray with the interface connectors toward the back of the tray. b.
c. Remove the two faceplate retaining screws, then separate the faceplate from the board. d. Attach the half-height faceplate to the board using the screws removed in the previous step. Tighten the screws until snug. Over tightening the screws can damage the board. Half-height faceplate installed Faceplate attachment screw Faceplate attachment screw e.

Determine the location where the controller board should be installed in your computer. See the guidelines below for your server chassis and system.
Optiplex XE chassis – EI40 series systems Originally, the EI40 series systems have no expansion cards. Install the STR-CTRL in the fourth slot from the left. Optiplex 780 chassis –EH20 series systems Remove the I/O board from the left slot, then install the STR-CTRL card there. The I/O board can be left out, or can replace the analog audio board in the right slot.
Optiplex 790 chassis –EI21 series systems Move the network interface card (NIC) to the second slot from the left, then install the STR-CTRL in the fourth slot from the left. Original expansion card configuration Suggested configuration with STR-CTRL controller NIC STR-CTRL NIC Optiplex 7010 chassis – EH22 series systems In the EH2204 system, move the NIC in the forth slot from the left to slot 1, then install the STR-CTRL in the fourth slot from the left.

Optiplex 990 chassis – AH40 series systems Install the STR-CTRL controller card in the fourth slot from the left (right-most slot) when looking at the computer backpanel. Because this slot is full, the network interface card (NIC) card in the fourth slot must be removed. The NIC can be installed in the second slot from the left if the analog audio card is removed, or left out if not needed.
Optiplex 9010 chassis – AH41 series systems Install the STR-CTRL controller card in the fourth slot from the left (right-most slot) when looking at the computer backpanel. Because this slot is full, the analog audio card in the slot must be removed. The analog audio card can be installed in the second slot from the left if the NIC is removed, or left out if not needed.
—— ii. Place the STR-CTRL card into place (see above), then slide it into the card connecter on the riser. iii. Close the expansion card latch. In OptiPlex chassis, the slot in the upper faceplate tab should surround the alignment pin in card retention latch assembly (see below).
NOTE Depending on your system BIOS configuration, Windows may try to boot through the RocketRAID card; ignore this screen, and allow the server to initialize. 2. Open the Device Manager window. (Go to Start u Control Panel u Device Manager.) If this is the first time this controller card is used in the chassis, in the Other devices list you should see a device named RAID Controller with an alert status. It should be the only device with an alert status. 3.
c. Paste the path to the location where the drivers exist into the Browse entry field in the window shown below, then click Next. 6.
