Installing Host Boards
NOTE
Be aware that upgrading the controller / host board may occur down time.
Always insert the host board 1 (which is on the left) first.
The SAS expansion host board can be ONLY inserted into host board 2 (which is on
the right), and you cannot insert two (2) SAS expansion host boards.
If you add or replace a host board, the firmware will automatically restore the system
to factory settings.
1. Shutdown and remove the controller from the enclosure.
2. For users installing a new host board, you will need to remove the screws holding
the dummy covers in place.
3. If you are replacing an existing host board, please loosen the thumb screw that is
securing the host board onto the controller and gently lift the host board.
