Before beginning the installation

Before beginning the installation procedure, visit the HP website

(http://www.hp.com/support

) to confirm that you have the latest version of each

driver and utility file needed. Compare the version numbers of the files there

with those of the same files on the Smart Setup media.

Preparing the server

Before installing the controller in the server, back up all data.

If the server supports hot-pluggable devices, no further preparation is required.

Proceed to install the controller board as described ("Installing the controller

board" on page 10

If the server does not support hot-pluggable devices:

1. Close all applications.

2. Power down the server.

CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that

the server is the first unit to be powered down and the last to be

powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does

not erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is powered

up.
