Installing a Compaq Smart Array
Controller (SCSI Drives Internal)
The ProLiant DL320 server enables users to configure an optional array
controller in the PCI expansion slot and use the controller to manage the
server’s internal hard drives.
For management of external devices only, the procedure for installing a Smart
Array Controller is equivalent to installing any expansion board.
Perform the following procedures to configure a Smart Array Controller in the
PCI expansion slot to manage your internal SCSI hard drives.
NOTE: Steps 1 through 3 apply only to servers that have already been mounted in a rack.
1. Back up the data residing on the hard drives.
2. Power down the server. See “Powering down the Server” earlier in this
chapter.
3. Remove the server from the rack. See “Removing the Server from the
Rack” in Chapter 4, “Installing the Server.”
NOTE: If you install the rack management solution option (ball-bearing slide rails and a
cable management system), you can perform many hardware procedures without
removing the server from the rack. For more information, see “Other Options” earlier in
this chapter.
4. Remove the access panel. See “Removing the Access Panel” earlier in
this chapter.
NOTE: Steps 5 and 6 are necessary only if you apply your array controller across your
internal hard drives.
