Note: If there is a gap between the controller and the retaining clips, the
controller has not been correctly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips
and remove the controller; then, reinsert the controller.
11. Remove the battery from the ServeRAID-8k SAS Controller package.
12. Slide the battery mounting tabs into the battery mounting clips on the server
wall that is next to the ServeRAID SAS controller connector.
13. Connect the battery to the ServeRAID-8k SAS Controller.
14. Replace the air baffle over the DIMMs. See the User’s Guide for more
information.
15. Replace the riser-card assembly.
If
you have other optional devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
“Completing the installation.”
Notes:
1. When you restart the server for the first time after you install a ServeRAID-8k
SAS controller, the monitor screen remains blank while the controller initializes
the battery. This might take a few minutes, after which the startup process
continues. This is a one-time occurrence.
Important: You must allow the initialization process to be completed. If you do
not, the battery pack will not work, and the server might not start.
The battery comes partially charged, at 30% or less of capacity. Run the server
for 4 to 6 hours to fully charge the controller battery. The LED just above the
battery on the controller remains lit until the battery is fully charged.
Until the battery is fully charged, the controller firmware sets the controller
cache to write-through mode; after the battery is fully charged, the controller
firmware re-enables write-back mode.
2. When you restart the server, you will be given the opportunity to import the
existing RAID configuration to the new ServeRAID SAS controller.
Completing the installation
To complete the installation, complete the following steps:
1. Install the cover. See “Installing the cover” on page 33 for more information.
2. Install the server in the rack cabinet. See the Rack Installation Instructions that
come with the server for detailed information about how to install the server in a
rack cabinet.
Attention:
v Install the server only in a rack cabinet that has perforated doors.
v Do not leave open space above or below an installed server in your rack
cabinet. To help prevent damage to server components, always install a filler
panel to cover the open space and to help ensure proper air circulation. See
the documentation that comes with the rack cabinet for more information.
3. Connect the cables and power cords.
Attention: In a dc power environment, only trained service personnel other
than IBM service technicians are authorized to connect or disconnect power to
the dc power supply. See the documentation that comes with each dc power
supply.
See
“Connecting the cables” on page 33 for more information.
4. Update the server configuration. See “Updating the server configuration” on
page 34 for more information.
