Step 1 Unpack the controller Unpack the new controller in a static-free environment. Remove it from the anti-static bag and inspect it for damage. If the controller appears to be damaged, contact the Fujitsu support service. Step 2 Prepare the server Enable PCI Option ROM scan for appropreated PCI slot in BIOS setup.
Modular RAID 12Gb/s (SAS3.0) 5.5.5 Installing an optional TFM / FBU The "PRAID EP420e" can be equipped with the same TFM as for "PRAID EP420i". Please proceed in the same way as described in section "Installing an optional TFM / FBU" on page The FBU type, the FBU mounting position and the FBU adapter cable may be different for your server.
Modular RAID 12Gb/s (SAS3.0) RAID Controller "PRAID EP440i" ATTENTION! Make sure you observe the safety notes in chapter "Important information" on page The RAID controller "PRAID EP440i" is designed to drive the server's internal ® disk drives. The RAID stack is based on LSI MegaRAID and offers powerful data throughput, extensive fault-tolerance and easy-to-use management.
Modular RAID 12Gb/s (SAS3.0) 5.6.1 Features The RAID controller "PRAID EP440i" implements the LSI SAS3108 which is an integrated SAS and I/O controller with dual embedded Power PC 476 cores running at speeds up to 1.2 GHz. The LSI SAS3108 also provides the following functionalities: Provides an 8-lane 5.0 / 8.0 Gbit PCIe 3.0 host bus.
