Installing the storage controller and FBWC module options
IMPORTANT: If planning to install a Smart Storage Battery, install it in the chassis before
installing the storage controller and FBWC module in the node ("Installing the HPE Smart
Storage Battery" on page 97).
To install the component:
1. Power down the node (on page 32).
2. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the node.
3. Remove the node from the chassis (on page 32).
4. Place the node on a flat, level surface.
5. Remove the PCI riser cage ("Remove the PCI riser cage assembly" on page 48).
6. Identify the PCIe slot compatible with the new option, and then remove the PCI blank opposite that
slot.
7. Remove the bayonet board assembly and bayonet board bracket ("Remove the bayonet board
assembly" on page 43).
8. If you intend to use an FBWC module, install the module on the storage controller. Depending on the
controller model, the cable connector on the cache module might be facing up or down when the
module is installed on the controller board.
