7.SRCU31 Hardware Installation
The adapter may or may not come with a SDRAM ECC DIMM inserted into the memory socket. If it does, then the adapter is ready to be installed into the server as the Intel Integrated RAID software is programmed into the flash memory.
If the SDRAM ECC DIMM is not inserted into the memory socket, then acquire a supported 32, 64 or 128 SDRAM ECC DIMM and insert it into the memory socket of the adapter. See supported parts at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/srcu31.
