5.
Remove the existing card from the server and set it aside.
6.
Install the V2-STORAGE-EXT800 External RAID Controller in the newly-available card slot inside the
server.
When installing the V2-STORAGE-EXT800 External RAID controller card, you must
replace the existing PERC 6/E controller card. Do not install the V2-STORAGE-
EXT800 card in an empty slot with the PERC 6/E card still in use. A server using both
types of cards at the same time may not function properly.
7.
Press down on the blue locking tab to lock the cards back into place.
8.
Replace the cover on the server and ensure that the cover lock is fastened securely after closing the lid.
Be sure to download the newest server administrator from Dell's website
(www.dell.com) and have the latest PERC 6/E driver prior to installing the RAID
Controller. Also be sure to check for any updated BIOS or driver updates for the card.
