1. Unpack the RAID controller card and prepare it for installation.
For instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card.
2. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
3. Open the system. See "Opening the System" in "Troubleshooting Your System."
4. Install the RAID controller card. See "Installing an Expansion Card" in "Installing System Options."
5. Connect SCSI interface cables supplied with the card to the SCSIA and/or SCSIB connectors on the SCSI backplane board.
To identify the connector on the RAID controller card, see documentation for the card. See FigureA-6 to locate the SCSI controller connectors on the
SCSI backplane board.
Route the SCSI cables over the SCSI backplane board to the expansion-card cage.
6. Connect the external SCSI devices to the card's external connector on the system's back panel.
If you are attaching multiple external SCSI devices, daisy-chain the devices to each other using the cables shipped with each device.
7. Close the system. See "Closing the System" in "Troubleshooting Your System."
8. Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached peripherals.
9. Install any required SCSI device drivers. See "Installing and Configuring SCSI Drivers" in the User's Guide.
10. Test the SCSI devices.
Test a SCSI hard drive by running the SCSI Controllers test in the system diagnostics.
Installing a SCSI Backplane Daughter Card
To operate the SCSI backplane in a 2/4 split backplane configuration, you must install a daughter card.
1. Unpack the SCSI backplane board daughter card kit.
2. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
3. Open the system. See "Opening the System" in "Troubleshooting Your System."
4. Disconnect the control panel cable from its backplane connector. See Figure7-6.
The SCSI backplane daughter card connector and card guide are located in the compartment below the control panel cable.
5. The daughter card fits between the sides of the card guide. To install the daughter card in the card guide and to connect it to the backplane connector,
performing the following steps:
a. Ensure that the retention lever is in the open position.
b. Hold the daughter card by its edges with the card connector facing the SCSI backplane board and the card's retention peg facing the retention
lever. See Figure7-6.
c. Lower the card into the card guide.
d. Close the retention lever to slide the daughter card into the SCSI backplane connector and lock the card into place. See Figure7-6.
6. Reconnect the control panel cable to its backplane connector. See Figure7-6.
