4.4 RAID Controller Installation
To install the RAID controller, follow these steps:
1. Power off the computer, all drives, enclosures, and system components. Remove the
power cord from the computer.
2. Remove the chassis cover and access the PCI Express* add-in card slots. See your
server chassis documentation for instructions.
3. Align the controller’s connector with a x8 or x16 PCI Express* slot on the server board.
4. Press down gently but firmly to ensure that the card is properly seated in the slot, as
shown in Figure 3. Secure the bracket to the computer chassis.
