Quick Installation of the Nytro MegaRAID Card

2.4 Quick Installation of the Nytro MegaRAID Card

Use the following steps to install of your Nytro MegaRAID card. These steps are for experienced computer users or

installers.

1. Unpack the card and inspect it for damage. Unpack the card in a static-free environment, and follow good

antistatic grounding procedures. Remove the card from the antistatic bag, and carefully inspect the device for

damage. If you notice any damage or if any component is missing, contact LSI or your reseller support person.

2. Prepare the server. Turn off the power to the server, all drives, enclosures, and server components, and

disconnect the AC power cord.

3. Open the cabinet. Follow the instructions in the server technical documentation.

4. If required, replace the mounting bracket (server dependent) and install light pipe in the Life (upper) position.

5. If required, install optional SuperCap and external LED before installing the card in the PCIe slot.

6. Insert the Nytro MegaRAID card in an available PCIe slot. Locate an empty PCIe slot that offers the maximum

airflow. Remove the blank bracket panel on the server chassis that aligns with the empty PCIe slot. Save the

bracket screw, if applicable.

Align the card to a PCIe slot. Press down gently, but firmly, to correctly seat the card in the slot. The following

figure illustrates how to insert the card in a PCIe slot.

7. Secure the card to the server’s chassis. Install the bracket screw, if applicable, or engage the server retention

mechanism to secure the card to the server’s chassis.

8. Connect SAS or SATA devices to the Nytro MegaRAID card. Make sure that the cable you use conforms to all

specifications.

9. Perform a safety check. Make sure the cables and card are installed correctly, then close cabinet.

10. Reconnect the AC power cord to the server.

11. Turn on the power to the server. The server powers-up and auto configuration creates a Nytro Cache Drive

Group 0, RAID 1, Write Back configuration.

Nytro MegaRAID card installation is complete.

CAUTION Back up your data before changing your system configuration.

CAUTION The PCIe slot must meet the 300 linear feet per minute (LFPM) minimum airflow requirement but

500 LFPM is optimal for thermal performance.
