Installing the storage controller option

This procedure applies only to the two-drive kit. For more information about supported options, see the product QuickSpecs on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

CAUTION: Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends performing a complete backup of all compute module data before installing or removing a controller or adapter.
CAUTION: In systems that use external data storage, be sure that the compute module is the first unit to be powered down and the last to be powered back up. Taking this precaution ensures that the system does not erroneously mark the drives as failed when the compute module is powered up.
