Installing an HPE Smart Array P824i-p MR Gen10 controller in a configured server
Procedure
1.
Back up data on the system.
2.
Close all applications.
3.
Update the server firmware if it is not the latest revision.
4.
Do one of the following:
•
If the new Smart Array is the new boot device, install the device drivers.
•
If the new Smart Array is not the new boot device, go to the next step.
NOTE: If the logical drive is used in a Smart Array SR controller RAID array, you are not able to boot from that device
if you are attached to a Smart Array MR controller.
5.
Ensure that users are logged off and all tasks are completed on the server.
6.
Power down the server.
CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the server is the first unit to be powered
down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not
erroneously mark the drives as failed when the server is powered up.
7.
Power down all peripheral devices that are attached to the server.
8.
Disconnect the power cord from the power source.
