Installing the controller hardware
Preparing the server blade
1. Back up all data.
2. Close all applications.
3. Power down the server blade.
CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to
be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the
system does not erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is powered up.
4. Remove the server blade from the enclosure.
Installing the controller board
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, consult the
safety information and user documentation provided with the server before attempting the
installation.
Many servers are capable of providing energy levels that are considered hazardous and are
intended to be serviced only by qualified personnel who have been trained to deal with these
hazards. Do not remove enclosures or attempt to bypass any interlocks that may be provided
for the purpose of removing these hazardous conditions.
1. Remove the access panel from the server blade.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
2. Select an available mezzanine socket on the system board.
3. Remove the socket cover, and then save it for future use.
4. Plug the controller into the socket.
5. Tighten the three spring-loaded captive screws at the corners of the controller.
6. Reinstall the access panel.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed.
Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can
lead to thermal damage.
7. Reinstall the server blade in the enclosure.
8. Install an HP 3Gb SAS BL-c Pass-Thru Module in the enclosure.
9. Connect the server blade to the pass-thru module.
10. Connect the pass-thru module to a drive enclosure.
