Installing a H730P slim card

1.Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.

NOTE: It is recommended that you always use a static mat and static strap while working on components in the interior of the system.

2.Open the system.

3.Press the release latch on the side of the chassis to the unlock position.

4.Align the slots on the H730P slim card with the standoffs on the side of the chassis.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the system memory, ensure that the H730P slim card does not come in contact with the memory modules during installation

5.Lower the H730P slim card into the chassis until the slots on the card engage with the standoffs on the side of the chassis.

6.Press the release latch to the lock position to secure the card firmly on the chassis. The H730P slim card connects to the backplane connector.

7.Hold the pull tag on the H730P slim card cable connector and route the cable between the memory- module ejectors.

8.Align the retention screws on the H730P slim card cable connector with the screw holes on the system board connector.

9.Tighten the two retention screws to secure the H730P slim card cable connector on the system board.

Removing the PERC 9 mini blade controller

1.Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet and peripherals.

NOTE: It is recommended that you always use a static mat and static strap while working on components in the interior of the system.

2.Open the system.

3.Locate the PERC card on the system board.

4.Loosen the two retention screws on the hard-drive/SSD backplane cable connector and lift it away from the PERC 9 mini blade controller.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to the PERC 9 mini blade controller, you must hold the card by its edges only.

5.Lift the PERC 9 mini blade controller up and out of the connector.

6.Replace the storage controller card and connect the cable. For more information on installing the card, see Installing the PERC 9 mini blade controller.

7.Close the system.

8.Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet and turn the system on, including any attached peripherals.
