Step 1 Unpack
Unpack and install the hardware in a static-free environment. The MegaRAID Express
500 controller card is packed inside an anti-static bag between two sponge sheets.
Remove the controller card and inspect it for damage. If the card appears damaged, or if
any item listed below is missing, contact LSI Logic or your MegaRAID OEM support
representative. The MegaRAID Express 500 Controller is also shipped with the following
on CD:
• the MegaRAID Configuration Software Guide
• the MegaRAID Operating System Drivers Guide
• the MegaRAID Express 500 Hardware Guide
• the software license agreement
• the MegaRAID Express 500 Configuration Utilities for DOS
• the warranty registration card
Step 2 Power Down
Turn off the computer and remove the cover. Make sure the computer is turned off and
disconnected from any networks before installing the controller card.
Step 3 Configure Motherboard
Make sure the motherboard is configured correctly for MegaRAID Express 500.
MegaRAID Express 500 is essentially a SCSI Controller. Each MegaRAID Express 500
card you install will require an available PCI IRQ; make sure an IRQ is available for each
controller you install.
