oFor all other controllers, install the cache module. If the cache module is absent, these controllers do not function.

3.Install the controller in the server blade ("Installing the mezzanine controller board" on page 42). For server blade-specific procedures, see the server blade user guide.

4.Install the access panel.

5.Install an HP 3Gb or 6Gb SAS Switch in the enclosure.

6.Connect a drive enclosure to the switch.

7.Install physical drives in the drive enclosure, as needed.

The number of drives connected to the switch determines the RAID level that is autoconfigured when the server blade powers up, unless the user chooses a different configuration option. For more information, see the server-specific user guide or the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide.

8.Create and assign drive bay or port zoning groups with HP Virtual SAS Manager software. For more information, see the switch documentation.

9.Install the server blade in the server blade enclosure.

By default, the server blade powers up upon insertion. If necessary, power up the server blade manually. Unless the user chooses a different configuration option, the autoconfiguration process runs.

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

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

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

13.Install the operating system and device drivers ("Installing device drivers" on page 45). Instructions are provided with the CD that is supplied in the controller kit.

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

The server blade is now ready for use.

Installing a mezzanine controller in a previously configured server blade

1.Back up data on the system.

2.Close all applications.

3.Verify the server blade firmware is the latest revision. If necessary, update the server blade 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 blade.

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.
