Installation Instructions ProLiant 8500 Integrated Array Bypass This document describes the installation of the Compaq ProLiant 8500 Integrated Array Bypass kit. Use this kit if you want to bypass the Integrated Smart Array Controller (Ultra2 support) and use an optional controller such as the Compaq 3200 Array Controller. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, refer to the Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers Setup and Installation Guide and observe all safety precautions and option installation instructions Refer to Chapter 4, "Installing Hardware" in the Compaq ProLiant 8500 Servers Setup and Installation Guide for information about installing I/O expansion boards.
