Installing a Flexible Smart Array Controller option
CAUTION: Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends performing a complete backup of all
server data before performing a controller or adapter installation or removal.

to 8 internal SAS/SATA drives without using a PCIe slot.
An HPE Flexible Smart Array Controller Mini-SAS cable option is required to install an HPE Flexible Smart
Array Controller option. Before installing the controller, observe the following requirements:
• To ensure cables are connected correctly, observe the labels on the cable and component
connectors.
• Check that you have installed the latest firmware for the controllers, HBAs, and the expander card.
To download the latest firmware, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc).
To install the component:
1. Back up all server data.
