Caution: The PCIe slot must meet the 300 linear feet per minute (LFPM) minimum airflow requirement but 500 LFPM is optimal for thermal performance. Figure 5. Example of an Intel® RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040/RCS25ZB040LX Board Installation in a PCI Express* Slot 7. Install the SAS devices, SATA devices, or both in the host server case. Refer to the documentation for the devices for any pre-installation configuration requirements. 8. Connect the RAID card to the devices. Use SAS cables to connect SAS devices, SATA devices, or both to the Intel® RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040/RCS25ZB040LX card. See SAS Device Cables and Connectors for information about connecting the card to drives. System throughput problems can occur if the SAS cables are not the correct type. 9. Turn on the power to the server. Reinstall the server cover, and reconnect the AC power cords. Turn power on to the host server. Make sure that the power is turned on to the SAS devices, SATA devices, or both before or at the same time that the power is turned on to the host server. If the computer is powered up before these devices, the devices might not be recognized. During boot, a BIOS message appears. The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. The configuration utility prompt times out after several seconds. The second portion of the BIOS message shows the Intel® RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040/RCS25ZB040LX card number, firmware version, and cache SDRAM size. The numbering of the cards follows the PCI slot scanning order used by the host motherboard. 10. Run the WebBIOS Configuration Utility. Run the WebBIOS Configuration Utility to configure the drive groups and the virtual drives. When the message Press CTRL+G for WebBIOS appears on the screen, immediately press CTRL+G to run the utility. 11. Install the operating system driver. Intel® RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040/RCS25ZB040LX cards can operate under various operating systems. To operate under these operating systems, you must install the software 12 Intel® RAID SSD Cache Controller RCS25ZB040/RCS25ZB040LX User Guide
