On the HP ProLiant DL585 G1 (VT5900-A)
After completing step 2 on page 142, remove the SCSI card(s) and install the Fibre Channel
card(s), as follows:
1. From the rear of the HP ProLiant DL585 server, mark each SCSI cable with the port
position to which it is attached. This will make it easier to reattach them to the correct
SCSI ports later.
2. Disconnect the ProLiant power cords as a precaution. Disconnect all SCSI cables from the
SCSI adapters for easier access to the adapter cards.
3. If the HP ProLiant DL585 is mounted in a rack, loosen the front pull tabs and slide the
server out so that you can open the top cover. Do not remove the server from the rails. If
there is a stabilizer foot, extend it so the enclosure does not tip forward.
4. Open the ProLiant DL585 top cover, remove it, and set it aside.
5. Look inside the ProLiant DL585 server to the back where the SCSI and Fibre adapters
are located. You will see a shipping bracket secured with a quick-disconnect pull tab that
you need to release to remove the shipping bracket. Once the shipping bracket is removed,
you can access the blue tabs that lock and unlock the SCSI and Fibre Channel cards.
6. Remove SCSI cards from the server as follows:
Note This order must be followed or the upgrade will not work. Every HP ProLiant
DL585 server has SCSI and Fibre Channel cards in the same physical slots. A
Fibre Channel card is always in slots 5 and 6. You will see slot numbers on the
chassis above each slot. These numbers are visible on the inside and outside of the
chassis.
