Installing a RAID adapter flash power module in the standard I/O book

Use this information for instructions on how to install a RAID adapter flash power module in the standard I/O book.

Note

You can install up to three RAID flash power modules in the standard I/O book.

When you install RAID adapters that come with flash power modules in the standard I/O book , install the flash power modules in the slots inside the standard I/O book air baffle to prevent them from overheating. To install a RAID adapter flash power module in the air baffle, complete the following steps:

1. Before you begin, read Safety and Installation guidelines.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords and external devices.
3. Remove the standard I/O book (see Removing the standard I/O book).
4. Pull up on the air baffle top cover tab while pushing down on the bottom tab on the base of the air baffle to remove the cover.
   
   
   
5. Place the flash power module in the slot on the air baffle with the cable at the bottom.
   
   
   
6. If you install the flash power modules in the two slots on the left side (facing the front of the standard I/O book) of the air baffle, route the cables through the clips and the holes on the side of the air baffle, as shown in the following illustration. When you install a flash power module in the slot on the right side of the air baffle, route the cable through the hole under the flash power module slot.
   
   
   
7. Connect one end of the cable extender, that comes with the power module, to the flash power module cable and the other end of the cable extender to the adapter.
8. Replace the air baffle cover. Align the tabs on the cover with the slots on the air baffle and rotate the cover down, then press the cover down until it latches.

If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to Completing the installation.
