On the HP ProLiant DL380 G4 (VT5900-B and VT5900-C)
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 DL380 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 DL380 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 DL380 top cover, remove it, and set it aside.
5. Look inside the ProLiant DL380 server to the back right-hand side where a pluggable
module, called the PCI Riser cage, houses the SCSI and Fibre adapters. You will see a two
round blue quick-release pull tabs that you need to open. Once loose, grasp the PCI Riser
cage and pull up to remove it from the DL380 chassis. Refer to the diagrams on top of the
PCI Riser cage if you have any questions about its removal. Set the PCI Riser cage on a
flat surface that allows ample access to the side of the module where the adapter cards
can be accessed. Note the blue tabs or pull tabs that allow each adapter to be removed
from its slot.
6. Remove SCSI cards from the server as follows:
Note This order must be followed or the upgrade will not work. Every HP ProLiant
DL380 server has SCSI and Fibre Channel cards in the same physical slots.
A Fibre Channel card is always in slot 1, the bottom slot; there is no reason to remove this
card. Slots 2 and 3 contain SCSI cards. A picture showing these slots follows:
