Installing CacheAssure (ExpressSAS R6xx only)
Adding CacheAssure to your adapter (marked ‘A’ in Exhibit 5-1) requires the installation of two modules; Non-
Volatile Memory Card (B) and Power Module (C).
WARNING
ATTO CacheAssure modules and adapters
contain components that are sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD can
cause damage to the ATTO ExpressSAS
adapter. Please follow standard methods to
avoid ESD.

Power down the computer and unplug the
computer from all power sources.

If you have purchased the ESAS RAID

are adding CacheAssure to a previously
purchased SAS RAID adapter, continue to

from the PCI Express expansion slot. If you
have questions about how to remove an
expansion card from your system, consult your
computer’s documentation.

Remove the NV Memory Card from its
electrostatic safe packaging.
5
Holding the RAID adapter firmly, plug the NV
Memory Card into the RAID adapter with ATTO
logos in matching direction and the standoff
mounts closer to the adapter’s bracket. See
Exhibit 5-2
