Installing the RAID board

The following steps describe how to install the RAID board. The steps are the same for both the

2.0and 2.5 versions of BCM1000 hardware, except for the power connections, which are described in “Routing power for mirrored systems” on page 193.

1Prepare the base unit for maintenance. Refer to “Shutting down the system software” on page 168 and “Shutting down the system hardware” on page 169, if necessary.

2Attach one end of the grounding strap to your wrist and the other end to a grounded metal surface.

3Disconnect all power and ribbon cable connections from the hard disk and the media bay module back plane.

4Remove the front cover.

5Remove the blank slot cover.

6Insert the RAID board into the slot in the housing so that the end with the LEDs fits through the open card slot.

Ensure that you insert the board, so that the bottom tab fits into the open slit at the bottom of the card slot.

7Clip the back end of the RAID board to the middle shelf of the media bay module housing. Refer to Figure 96.
