Chapter 2: MegaRAID SAS Hardware Installation

Detailed Installation

2.3 Detailed Installation

This section provides detailed instructions for installing your 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS RAID controller.

1. Unpack the 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS RAID controller.

Unpack and remove your RAID controller. Inspect it for damage. If it appears damaged, or if any of the following

items are missing, contact your LSI Customer and Technical Support representative. The RAID controller is

shipped with the following items:

— A CD that contains an electronic version of this user’s guide, and other related documentation

— A license agreement

— Warranty information

2. Turn off the power to the system.

Turn off the power to the computer, and disconnect the AC power cord. Remove the computer cover. Refer to the

system documentation for instructions. Before you install the controller, make sure that the computer is

disconnected from the power and from any networks.

3. Review the RAID controller jumpers and connectors.

The jumpers are set at the factory, and you usually do not need to change them. See Chapter 3, MegaRAID SAS

RAID Controller Characteristics, for diagrams of the 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS RAID controllers that show their

jumpers and connectors.

4. Install the RAID controller.

Select a PCI Express slot, and align the controller’s PCI Express bus connector to the slot. Press down gently, but

firmly, to make sure that the card is seated correctly in the slot. Secure the bracket to the computer chassis with

the bracket screw. The following figure shows the installation of the MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i RAID controller in a

PCI Express slot.

ATTENTION If your RAID controller has a battery backup unit (BBU) attached, do not press down on the

BBU when you insert the card.

NOTE Some PCI Express slots support PCI Express graphics cards only; RAID controllers installed in these

PCI Express slots do not function.
