Installing the MegaRAID SAS 9361 RAID Controller
ATTENTION
Damage caused to the RAID controller as a result of changing the
bracket can void the warranty on the RAID controller. RAID controllers
returned without a bracket mounted on the board will be returned
without return merchandise authorization (RMA) processing.
4.
Install the RAID controller.
Insert the RAID controller into a PCIe slot on the motherboard in the host computer,
as shown in the following figure. Press down gently, but firmly, to seat the RAID controller correctly in the slot.
Secure the RAID controller to the host computer chassis with the bracket screw.
NOTE
This RAID controller is a PCIe x8 card, and it can operate in x8 or x16
slots. Some PCIe slots, however, support only PCIe graphics cards; if a
RAID controller is installed in one of these slots, the RAID controller will
not function. Refer to the guide for your motherboard for information
about the PCIe slot.
