BC4000-UM100-R
To install the BC4000 Series RAID controller:
1.
Turn off the computer and any connected peripheral devices.
2.
Unplug the power cord from the computer.
3.
Remove the cover of the computer and the slot cover of an available PCI slot.
4.
If desired, attach LED cables from the inside of the computer to the LED connectors on the RAIDCore
controller, shown in
Figure 2
(see also
“Installing Hard Disk Drives and Cables (BC4000)” on page 17
).
After the LED cables are attached, and the system is powered up, the BIOS can be used as a diagnostic tool
to verify that the cables are correctly connected. Each LED lights up when the drive associated with the LED
in the BIOS is selected.
Until the BIOS loads, the LEDs are not indicative of disk connectivity.
5.
Insert the controller in an available slot.
6.
Secure the controller to the computer chassis with a bracket screw.

Notes:
•
The LED connectors are in the J2 position on the controller.
•
When the controller is held as shown on
Figure 2
, the LED 1 connector for port 0 is on the left,
and the LED 8 connector for port 7 is on the right.
•
The ground pins are in the lower row, and the power pins are in the upper row. If a light does not
work, try reversing the LED cable connection.
Note:
Depending on the system, this may require changing the bracket to a 2U-compliant bracket.
Be careful to align the bus connector of the controller with the selected PCI slot on the motherboard.
Push the board down firmly until it is seated properly.
