Oracle^® Storage 12 Gb/s SAS PCIe RAID HBA, Internal Installation Guide For HBA Models 7110116 and 7110117

To Complete the Installation

1. Replace the system cover and reconnect the AC power cords, if required, as described in the system documentation.
2. If you needed to turn the system power off to install the HBA, power on the system.

   ---

   Note -  If you do need to return power to the system, ensure that the power is turned on to the SAS devices, SATA II devices, or both before or at the same time that the power is turned on to the host system. If the system is powered up before these devices, the devices might not be recognized.

3. If you need to install an OS on your system, complete the procedures in Creating a Bootable Drive in a Preboot Environment and then go to the next step.
4. If you already have an OS installed on an x86 system, do the following:
   1. During the power-up process of the system, review the BIOS bootup messages to ensure that you are prompted for the BIOS Setup utility (which prompts you to press CTRL+R).

      If you are prompted for this utility, the BIOS has detected the HBA card.

   2. Go to the Oracle support area of the Broadcom web site (https://www.broadcom.com/support/oem/oracle/) and download the MegaRAID Storage Manager software and the StorCLI utility software, along with supporting documentation.
   3. Install the MegaRAID software and StorCLI software on the system that will manage your storage.
   4. From the MegaRAID Storage Manager software or the StorCLI utility, create logical drives for the HBA.
