Installing the LSI 9260-8i Card

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You
should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your
product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and
support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with
the product.
CAUTION: Expansion cards can only be installed in the slots on the expansion-
card riser. Do not attempt to install expansion cards directly into the riser
connector on the system board.
1
Unpack the LSI 9260-8i card and prepare it for installation. For
instructions, see the documentation accompanying the card.
2 Recommend to turn off the system, including any attached peripherals,
and disconnect the system from its electrical outlet.
3 Remove the system-board assembly. See "Removing a System-Board
Assembly" on page 115.
4 Connect the RAID battery cable to the BBU interposer card. See
Figure 3-14.
5 Attach the BBU interposer card onto the LSI 9260-8i card by securing
the three screws coming with the RAID battery. For the installation
steps of the RAID battery, see "LSI 9260-8i RAID Battery (Optional)"
on page 135.
6 Remove the screw securing the filler bracket. Grasp the filler bracket by
its edges, and carefully remove it from the expansion-card connector.
NOTE: Keep this bracket in case you need to remove the expansion card.
Filler brackets must be installed over empty expansion-cards slots to
maintain FCC certification of the system. The brackets also keep dust and
dirt out of the system and aid in proper cooling and airflow inside the
system.
7 Connect the two SAS/SGPIO cables to the LSI 9260-8i card assembly.
