Installation
For Advanced Data Guarding to be available as a fault-tolerance option on
your system, the RAID ADG Enabler Module must be installed on the Smart
Array 5300 controller in the server. Also, you will need to have at least 64 MB
of read/write cache on the controller.
Preliminary Steps
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment,
consult the safety information and user documentation provided with your
computer before attempting the installation.
Many computers are capable of producing energy levels that are considered
hazardous. These computers are intended to be serviced by qualified personnel
trained to deal with those hazards. Do not remove enclosures or attempt to
bypass any interlocks that may be provided for the purpose of removing these
hazardous conditions.
CAUTION:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. Be
sure you are properly grounded before beginning this procedure. See Appendix
B for ESD information.
Before installing or removing the RAID ADG Enabler Module:
1.
Perform a normal system shutdown.
CAUTION:
In systems using external data storage, be sure the server is the first
unit powered down and the last to be powered back up. This will ensure that the
system will not erroneously mark the drives as failed.
