Chapter 5: Installing the Controller and Disk Drives ● 45

6 Optional—Connect your RAID controller’s I2C connector (not available on all models) to

an I2C connector on an internal backplane or enclosure, using an I2C cable. For more

connection details, see About Your RAID Controller on page 17.

7 Prepare and install your internal disk drives, following the instructions in Connecting Disk

Drives to Your Controllers on page 46.

If you are not installing internal disk drives, close your computer cabinet, reattach the

power cord, then continue with Connecting External Devices on page 50.

Installing a RAID Controller with Zero Maintenance Cache Protection

Warning: Do not attempt to connect a Battery Backup Module (see page 19) to an

Adaptec RAID controller with Zero Maintenance Cache Protection. The battery module can

overheat and may even explode!

Turn off your computer and disconnect the power cord. Open

the cabinet, following the manufacturer’s instructions.

Select an available PCIe expansion slot that’s compatible with

your RAID controller and remove the slot cover, as shown at

right. (PCIe bus compatibility is marked to the controller figures

About Your RAID Controller

on page 17.)

Caution: Touch a grounded metal object before handling

the RAID controller.

As shown at right, insert the RAID controller into the

expansion slot and press down gently but firmly until it clicks

into place. When installed properly, the RAID controller

should appear level with the expansion slot

Secure the bracket in the expansion slot, using the retention

device (for instance, a screw or lever) supplied with your

computer.

5 Attach the zero maintenance cap card (ZMM-100CC)

to the RAID controller by inserting the connector into

the socket on the ZMM-100DB daughterboard, as

shown at right. The connector attaches to the socket in

only one direction.

6 Choose a location on the chassis or in the system to fix

the tethered cap card using the included tie-backs such

that (i) the cable (18.5") reaches the mating location on

the RAID controller when the controller is installed in

the

expansion slot

; (ii) wiring is routed and secured so

that it does not contact any moving parts (fans, for

instance); and (iii) the cap card is protected from excessive heat.
