Installing a stand-up controller in a previously configured server

1.Back up data on the system.

2.Close all applications.

3.Verify the server firmware is the latest revision. If necessary, update the server firmware ("Updating firmware" on page 45).

4.Do one of the following:

o If the new controller is the new boot device, install the device drivers ("Installing device drivers" on page 45).

o If the new controller is not the new boot device, go to the next step.

5.Power down the server.

CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is powered up.

6.Power down all peripheral devices that are attached to the server.

7.Disconnect the power cord from the power source.

8.Disconnect the power cord from the server.

9.Disconnect all peripheral devices.

10.Install the controller hardware ("Installing the controller board" on page 38). For server-specific procedures, see the server user guide.

11.Connect storage devices to the controller.

12.Connect peripheral devices to the server.

13.Connect the power cord to the server.

14.Connect the power cord to the power source.

15.Power up all peripheral devices.

16.Power up the server.

17.Verify the controller firmware is the latest revision. If necessary, update the controller firmware ("Updating firmware" on page 45).

18.Verify the drive firmware is the latest revision. If necessary, update the drive firmware ("Updating firmware" on page 45).

19.(Optional) Set this controller as the boot controller using ORCA ("Setting a controller as the boot controller" on page 43).

20.(Optional) Change the controller boot order using RBSU ("Setting the controller order" on page 44).

21.If the new controller is not the new boot device, install the device drivers ("Installing device drivers" on page 45).

22.If new versions of the Management Agents are available, update the Management Agents.

23.(Optional) Create additional logical drives ("Configuration tools" on page 43).

The server is now ready for use.
