Installing the HP Smart Array 5302 or 5304 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 5302 or 5304 controller card must be installed in PCI slot 8 for internal RAID.

If another PCI card is located in slot 8, 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 1-3). Once the card

is unlatched, pull the tabs on the insulator/dividers to unseat the card. Then insert the 5302 or

5304 controller card into the empty slot.
