Notes on installing expansion cards
• Use the installable expansion cards only.
• Before installing an expansion card, refer to the manual supplied with the options, and observe the
related notes. Further, observe the following notes for each expansion card.
Installing or removing SCSI card (PG-2281) and SAS array controller card
(PG-244C / PG-248G)
Configuration information on the device changes by installing a SCSI card (PG-2281) or a SAS array
controller card (PG-244C / PG-248G) in the server because the bridge circuits are installed in the insides
of the cards. Therefore, when adding/removing the SCSI card (PG-2281) or the SAS array controller
card (PG-244C / PG-248G) after OS installation, the onboard LAN controller might be recognized by
the OS as a new device. After adding/removing the card, perform the onboard LAN settings (IP address
etc.), and set software that uses the onboard LAN again.
SAS array controller card
A battery backup unit (BBU) is supplied with a SAS array controller card (PG-248C1 / PG-248G). Make
sure to install the battery backup unit.
