Installing Controller Options

This appendix contains procedures for installing cache memory and battery backup

options on the 1 and 3-channel PCI RAID controllers. The same procedure applies for

installing cache memory on the 1 and 3-channel EISA RAID controllers. (Battery backup

is not applicable to EISA RAID controllers.)

A.1 Installing Cache Memory

This procedure applies to 1 and 3-channel PCI and EISA RAID controllers. A

PCI RAID controller is shown in the illustrations.

CAUTION

To avoid static damage, wear a grounded wrist

strap while working on the RAID controller board.

1. Unpack cache memory module and position it above its mounting site on

RAID controller as shown in Figure A–1.

NOTE

If it ever becomes necessary to remove the cache

memory module, use your thumbs to spread the

spring-loaded tabs mentioned in the following

step. Then withdraw the module from its mating

connector.

2. Insert cache memory module connector into mating connector on mounting

site until spring-loaded tabs click, indicating connector is seated.

3. Figure A–2 shows cache memory module installed on RAID controller.
