Installing the HP Smart Array 6402 or 6404 Controller Card

Chapter 2

Table 2-2 identifies the major components of the Smart Array 6402 or 6404 controller card.

Installing the HP Smart Array 6402 or 6404 Controller Card

Step 1. If the server is running, shut down the OS, power off the server, and unplug the power cord.

Step 2. Remove the top cover of the server.

Step 3. The HP Smart Array 6402 or 6404 controller card must be installed in PCI slot 0-8 or 1-7 for

internal RAID (the Procurium card is embedded in slot 1-8, and slot 0-1 if a second Procurium card

is ordered). If another PCI card is located in slot 0-8 or 1-7, remove that card and relocate it to

another slot. Do this by twisting the blue paddle that locks the card in place by the bulkhead (see

Figure 2-2). Once the card is unlatched, pull the tabs on the insulator/dividers to unseat the card.

Then insert the 6402 or 6404 controller card into the empty slot.
