If replacing a RAID controller board in a desktop system, be sure to install the board in the
same slot that was used for the old board. Refer to your system documentation to open the
base unit and replace an option board.
Use this section to replace a failed RAID controller board (DAC960P, DAC960PD, or
MegaRAID) located in the the server base unit. After replacing the board, you must
configure it so that the internal RAID SCSI channel is set to the proper operation.
CAUTION
Before powering off the server, back up the current RAID configuration to diskette. For
DAC960P and DAC960PD boards, refer to Chapter 5, “Using DAC InterRAID Utilities.” For
MegaRAID boards, refer to Chapter 6, “Using MegaRAID BIOS” and Chapter 7, “Using Power
Console.”
Before opening the base unit and servicing any parts, carefully read the “Precautions” section
of this chapter. If you do not heed these initial precautions carefully, your system or
replacement parts could be damaged and your warranty voided.
To replace or add a RAID controller board:
1. Open the system’s base unit and remove the RAID controller board. Refer to your
system’s documentation for instructions on opening the base unit, taking precautions
against electrostatic discharge, and installing option boards.
2. If adding a controller board, use a quarter-inch nutdriver to remove the blanking plate
from the appropriate PCI slot in the system’s base unit.
3. Install the RAID controller board(s) into the appropriate PCI slot in the system’s base
unit. The primary RAID controller resides in PCI slot 3. Install secondary controllers
in PCI slots 2, 1, and 6, in that order. If PCI slot 6 is not available, use PCI slot 5 .
