4. Update the controller firmware (see “SAUPDATE Utility” (page 64)). When the firmware update
process is complete, the server reboots and runs through a POST procedure. This POST
procedure halts briefly during controller initialization and prompts you to open ORCA (Option
ROM Configuration for Arrays).
5. Open ORCA. See “Configuring the Array” (page 68).
• If using a headless console, press Esc+8.
• Otherwise, press F8.
6. Configure the logical boot drive, and exit from ORCA.
Depending on the OS, additional device drivers and management agents must be installed. See
the User guide for the specific HP Smart Array Controller at:
http://www.hp.com/go/integrity-iocards-docs under the specific HP Smart Array Controller product
for installation procedures.

Connecting External Storage
IMPORTANT: Not all OSs support external drives.
To connect external storage, follow these steps:
1. Power off the server.
2. Connect an external SAS cable to the external port of the controller.
NOTE: You do not have to disconnect any internal drives on shared internal port 1I because
the controller preferentially discovers devices attached to port 1E. However, drives on the
shared internal port are unavailable until you disconnect the external storage device.
3. Tighten the lock screws on the cable connector.
4. Attach the other end of the cable to the SAS input connector of the external storage enclosure.
IMPORTANT: Drives that are to be used in the same array must be of the same type, either
all SAS or all SATA. (Parallel SCSI drives cannot be used with this controller.)
5. Tighten the lock screws on the cable connector.
6. Power on the enclosure.
7. Power on the server.
