Attention: When you handle electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices,
take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details about
handling ESD-sensitive devices, see “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page

2. Unpack the new RAID controller.
Set the RAID controller on a dry, level surface away from magnetic fields. Save
the packing material and documentation in case you need to return the RAID
Controller CRU.
3. Review all documentation that comes with the new RAID controller for updated
replacement procedures and other information.
4. Write the battery replacement information on the label on the front of the new
RAID controller CRU.
• Date of Installation – Write today’s date
• Replacement Date – Write the date three years from now
5. Install the new RAID controller, as shown in the following illustration.
a. Slide the RAID controller all the way into the empty slot.
b. Close both levers until the latch locks into place.
Attention: When you add a second RAID controller, the storage-management
software automatically synchronizes the firmware between the existing controller
and the new controller. After adding a second RAID controller, always use the
storage-management software to verify the firmware levels and non-volatile static
random access memory (NVSRAM) files.
6. Insert the GBICs according to the instructions in “Installing GBICs” on page 17.
7. Connect the Fibre Channel cables, using the instructions in “Installing fiber-optic
cables” on page 19. For information about connecting the storage server to other
devices, see “Fibre Channel loop configurations” on page 11 and Chapter 3,
“Cabling the storage server,” on page 17.
