Installation and configuration 14
4.
Install the cache module.
5.
Slide the controller board along the slot alignment guide, if one is present, and then press the board
firmly into the expansion slot so that the contacts on the board edge are seated properly in the slot.
6.
Secure the controller board in place with the retaining screw. If the slot alignment guide has a latch
(near the rear of the board), close the latch.
7.
Connect internal storage devices to the controller. For more information, see "Connecting internal
storage (on page
)."
8.
Close or install 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.
Connecting internal storage
1.
Power down the server.
2.
Install drives, if necessary. For drive requirements when configuring arrays, see "Configuring an
array (on page
)."
Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends drives of similar type. All drives grouped in a logical drive
must meet the following criteria:
o
They must be either SAS or SATA.
o
They must be either all hard drives or all solid state drives.
o
For the most efficient use of drive space, the drives must have comparable capacity.
For more information about drive installation, see the following resources:
o
Drive procedures (on page
o
Server documentation

Drive documentation
3.
Use the internal SAS cable provided with the server to connect the controller to the drives:
o
If the drives are hot-plug capable, connect the internal connector of the controller to the SAS
connector on the hot-plug drive cage.
o
If the drives are not hot-plug capable, connect the internal connector of the controller to the
non-hot-plug drives.
4.
Close or install the access panel, and secure it with thumbscrews, if any are present.
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.
5.
Power up the server.
