Installing the HP Smart Array Controller Card
Step 1. If the server is running, shut down the OS, power off the server, and unplug the power cords.
Step 2. Remove the top cover of the server.
Step 3. If only one HP Smart Array controller card is to be installed, install it into slot 8 of IO Chassis 0 for
internal RAID configuration.
Step 4. If two HP Smart Array controller cards are to be installed, install them into slots 8 of IO Chassis 0
and IO Chassis 1 for internal RAID configuration.
NOTE The HP Smart Array controller card must be installed in PCI slot 8 for internal

relocated to another slot.
