To Install an LSI MegaRAID Card with Battery Backup in an Updated
Release of the Sun Fire V40z Server
Note – You must install this card in the horizontal PCI slot located under the
power-supply cage.
When installing the LSI MegaRAID card with battery backup in the updated release
(chassis PN 380-1206) of the Sun Fire V40z server, you replace the SCSI signal cable
in the system with the new SCSI signal cable that is included with the card.
1. If you have not already done so, remove the power-supply cage assembly, as
described in “Installing a Horizontal PCI Card and Riser” on page 4-17.
2. Disconnect the server’s SCSI signal cable from the motherboard and from the
SCSI backplane.
FIGURE 4-11 shows the location of the SCSI-signal-cable motherboard connector on
the updated release (chassis PN 380-1206) of the server; in this view, the rear
fan-cage assembly and the power-supply cage have been removed. SCSI connector A
is located just in front of the connector for the power-supply cage, under the rear
fan-cage assembly. The SCSI signal cable is routed along the sidewall of the chassis
and does not pass underneath the motherboard.
