HP Smart Array P800 Controller for Integrity Servers Installation Guide, December 2007

IMPORTANT: Other controllers (host bus adapters) and slots in the system can be dependent

on the controller that is targeted for replacement. For example, if the target controller has multiple

channels, suspending or deleting drivers for the target PCIe slot also suspends individual drivers

for the multiple hardware paths on the controller installed in that PCI slot.

To replace a Smart Array P800 controller online, follow these steps:

1. Confirm that you have the minimum ciss driver version to support OL* on your system.

See the HP Smart Array Controller Support Matrix at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html

2. Confirm that the controller is in a slot that supports OL*.

To determine the capabilities of the slots on your system, see one of the following documents:

• I/O Slot Matrix - Entry Class Integrity Servers, at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/hw.html

• The documentation for your server, at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/hw.html

3. To replace the controller, follow the procedures in the latest edition of the Interface Card OL*

Support Guide for your HP-UX version.

• For instructions on using OL* on HP-UX 11i v2, see the Interface Card OL* Support Guide

at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv2.html

• For instructions on using OL* on HP-UX 11i v3, see the Interface Card OL* Support Guide

at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/oshpux11iv3.html

For instructions on opening the system enclosure and working with PCIe cards, see the

server documentation at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/hw.html

CAUTION: Electronic components can easily be damaged by small amounts of static

electricity. To avoid damage, follow the guidelines in Appendix A (page 35).

4. When the operation is complete, confirm that the access panel or cover is correctly installed

and secured.

CAUTION: Do not operate the server with the access panel removed for extended periods

of time. The access panel protects thermally sensitive components by ensuring the proper

airflow through the server and minimizes personal contact with hazardous energy levels.

Connecting External Devices

The AD335A controller is compatible with several HP external storage enclosures, including the

MSA50, MSA60, and MSA70. For information on supported enclosures, see the HP Smart Array

RAID Controllers Support Matrix at:

http://docs.hp.com/en/netcom.html

For information on connecting an external enclosure, see the documentation for the enclosure.

For information on supported cable kits for external devices, see Appendix B (page 37).
