Install a CCSA

Unpack and Inspect the CCSA

1. Put on an ESD wrist strap and attach the grounding clip to the antistatic mat.

2. Place the package containing the CCSA on the antistatic mat.

3. Open the packing container and remove the CCSA. Set aside the packing

container in the event you need to return the CCSA.

4. Visually inspect the CCSA and the backplane connector for damage. Use a

flashlight, if necessary, to check for bent or broken pins. If the CCSA is damaged

or has a damaged connector-pin socket, do not install it. Instead, contact your HP

service provider.

Note. HP recommends that you install a CCSA first, then add the adapter using the

Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
