Setting Up a Syncro CS 9286-8e Two-Server Cluster Configuration
5. Place the Syncro CS controller on a flat, clean, static-free surface after grounding yourself.
6. Take the cable included with the kit and insert one end of it into the 9-pin connector on the remote CVPM02
module, as shown in the following figure.
NOTE The CVPM02 module is a super-capacitor pack that provides power for
the cache offload capability to protect cached data in case of host
power loss or server failure.

7. Mount the CVPM02 module to the inside of the server chassis, as shown in Figure 4. Refer to the server
documentation to determine the exact method of mounting the module.
NOTE Because server chassis design varies from vendor to vendor, no
standard mounting option exists for the CVPM02 module that is
compatible with all chassis configurations. Authorized resellers and
chassis manufacturers might have recommendations for the location
of the power module to provide the most flexibility within various
environments.
8. Make sure that the power to the server is still turned off, that the power cords are unplugged, and that the chassis
is grounded and has no AC power.
9. Insert the Syncro CS 9286-8e controller into a PCIe slot on the motherboard, as shown in the following figure.
