Page: 29 / 208

Note: For Netfinity
®
3000 servers, the ServeRAID controllers are supported
only when installed in PCI slot 3. Do not install these controllers in PCI
slots 1 or 2. Before you can install a ServeRAID controller in a Netfinity
3000, you must first remove the standard SCSI controller that comes in
PCI slot 3. You can install and use the standard SCSI controller in PCI
slots 1 or 2, but devices attached to the standard SCSI controller will no
longer provide startup (boot) support.
4. Remove the expansion-slot cover, if applicable.
5. Touch the static-protective package containing the controller to an unpainted
metal expansion-slot cover on the server. This discharges any static electricity
from the package and from your body.
6. Remove the controller from the static-protective package holding the controller
by the edges. Do not touch any exposed components on the controller.
7. Insert the controller in the PCI expansion slot. Press the controller firmly into
the slot so that it is fully seated.
8. Secure the controller by either tightening the expansion-slot screw on the top
of the controller or closing the latch, depending on your server.
9. Connect the SCSI cables to the controller. If you intend to attach external
devices only, go to step 13 on page 12. Otherwise, go to step 10.
10. Connect one end of a 68-pin standard cable (separately purchased or already
in your server) to the internal channel connector on the ServeRAID controller.
Note: See “Connector locations” on page 4 for the channel connector
locations.
