To install the N2225 HBA or the N2226 HBA, follow these steps:
1. Unpack the HBA, and inspect it for damage. Unpack the HBA in a static-free environment.
Touch the static-protective package that contains the HBA to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server; then, grasp the HBA by the top edge or upper corners, remove it from
the package, and inspect it for damage. Contact your IBM marketing representative or
authorized reseller if the HBA appears to be damaged.
ATTENTION: Make a backup of your data before changing your system
configuration to avoid the risk of data loss.
2. Prepare the server. Turn off the server, and remove the power cord from the rear of the
power supply.
3. Remove the cover from the chassis.
4. Check the mounting bracket on the HBA (system-dependent). If required for your
system, replace the full-height mounting bracket that ships on the HBA with the low-profile
bracket supplied. Save and reuse the two screws that attach the long bracket to attach the
short bracket.
