• If you are installing a Smart Array P-class Gen10 controller,
an energy pack option is required.
Before you perform this procedure, perform the following steps:
1. Back up data on the system.
2. Close all applications.
3. Update the server firmware if it is not the latest revision.
4. Do one of the following:
• If the new Smart Array is the new boot device, install the device drivers.
• If the new Smart Array is not the new boot device, go to the next step.
5. Ensure that users are logged off and that all tasks are completed on the server.
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.
Procedure
1. If installed, remove the bezel.
2. Power down the server.
3.
Remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
4. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.
5. Remove the server from the rack.
6. Remove the access panel.
7. Install a Smart Array type-a modular controller into Smart Array modular controller connector:
a. Push the controller board down until the holes on the controller board are inserted through the alignment pins
on the system board.
b. Press the area of the controller board marked as PRESS TO INSTALL to ensure that the board is firmly seated on
the slot.
c. Tighten the controller board thumbscrews.
