P500/P510/P700/P710
Instructions for using the LSI controllers with P500/P510 and P700/P710 are essentially the same as the
instructions for P900/P910 listed above. There are a few hardware requirements to consider prior to
following those instructions.

Ensure the system is equipped with BCA's.

Ensure the system is equipped with "pull-bar" style FLEX Trays instead of the "barn-
door" style FLEX Trays that are used by default for manual connections.
Once these requirements are met, users can follow the P900 instructions to configure the system for use
with the LSI 9364-8i ROC or LSI SAS/SATA RAID FLEX Adapter.
Note: For P500/P510 and P700/P710, bays 1 and 2 are the left-most bays. Bays 3 and 4 are the right
most bays.
Alternatively, the P500/P510/P700/P710 may utilize the manual connect option instead of the blind
connect option. To do so, the LSI to HDD Manual Tray Cable must be used. This is done by simply
connecting one end of the LSI to HDD Manual Tray Cable to each of the drives installed and the other
end to the LSI controller.
