The materials used in the manufacture of this document and its components are compliant to the requirements of Directive 2002/95/EC.

Installation

The DSSRV-RAID is an internal controller card that can be installed in a new or existing DSSRV or DSSRV-DVD unit. Review all instructions in this document before proceeding with the installation of the card.

NOTE: The minimum configuration for an internal RAID 5 is three hard disk drives. One drive of the RAID 5 configuration is used for parity, reducing net storage capacity by the value of one drive.

The RAID controller card does not support Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) booting. Perform the following steps if you receive a UEFI message:

1. Restart the system.

2. Modify the boot order in your BIOS so that you boot to a non-UEFI device to manage RAID.

NOTE: You can enter the BIOS by pressing the Delete key repeatedly while the system is starting up.

The computer will restart. You can press any key to continue with the setup.

PREPARING FOR RAID CONTROLLER CARD INSTALLATION1. Shut down the unit.

2. Disconnect the power cord from the power supply.

3. Remove the power cord from the rear panel of the unit.

4. If necessary, install the rubber feet.

NOTE: The rubber feet can be applied one time only.

5. Place the unit on a flat surface with ample workspace. Make sure the area provides full access to the unit’s internal components.

OPENING THE CHASSIS

1. Unlock and open the bezel.

2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the chassis cover screws (two screws on the top front, two screws on the left and right sides, and three screws on the rear).

3. Carefully remove the chassis cover by lifting it. Set aside the chassis cover.

WARNING: When you install the DSSRV-RAID card in an existing unit, the hard drives will go through a rebuild cycle when the unit is restarted and all recorded video will be deleted.

WARNING: It is critical that the unit be disconnected for your safety. You must disconnect the power cord first because current continues to flow through the unit even when it is turned off.

WARNINGS:• Make sure the unit is turned off and you are wearing a properly grounded ESD wrist strap

before attempting to open the chassis cover.

• The chassis assembly includes parts with sharp edges. To avoid injury, use caution when working in and around the DSSRV chassis and components.

• Make sure you protect the unit and its components, which are susceptible to damage from improper handling and ESD. Refer to the Safe Handling of Hard Drives document for more information.

PREPARING THE UNIT1. Remove the SATA cable ties from the inside left of the unit.

2. Carefully disconnect the SATA cables from the motherboard.

Figure 1. Disconnecting the SATA Cables from the Motherboard

3. If already installed, remove each hard drive carrier as follows:a. Open the hard drive latch by pulling the latch to the left.

b. With the hard drive latch open, slide the hard drive carrier gently out of the hard drive bay. Set aside the hard drive carriers.

4. Remove the top two screws on the backplanes (refer to Figure 2). Set the screws aside.

Figure 2. Lifting the Backplanes

4 C5613M (10/11)

5. Lift the backplanes.

6. Disconnect the SATA cables from the hard drives on each backplane.

Figure 3. Disconnecting the SATA Cables

7. Remove the SATA cables from the chassis.

NOTE: Multilane SATA cables will replace the SATA cables for the RAID controller card installation.

INSTALLING THE RAID CONTROLLER CARD1. Connect the multilane SATA cables to the appropriate connectors on the backplanes (refer to

Figure 4 on page 6).

NOTE: Two sets of multilane SATA cables are provided for DSSRV-RAID card installation. The first set is numbered P1 to P4. The second set is numbered P5 to P6. The P5 cable is attached to the backplane for the optical drive and the P6 cable is left unattached. Each cable has a different length and the connectors are right-angle connectors for nesting (refer to Figure 4). The multilane SATA cable lengths are as follows:

• P1: 317.5 mm (12.5 inches)• P2: 330.0 mm (13.0 inches)• P3: 444.5 mm (17.5 inches)• P4: 457.0 mm (18.0 inches)• P5: 571.5 mm (22.5 inches)• P6: 585.0 mm (23.0 inches)

WARNING: Make sure that you disconnect the SATA cables only. The power supply cables are located next to the SATA cables and must remain connected.

Figure 4. Connecting the Multilane SATA Cables

Each cable must be connected as follows:

2. Align each backplane with the two guide pins located at the bottom of each backplane slot.

NOTE: Make sure that all cables are cleared before seating the backplane.

3. When the backplane is seated properly, insert and tighten the two screws on the top of each backplane.

b. Replace the high-profile bracket with the low-profile bracket (supplied) as follows:(1) Remove the two screws that secure the high-profile bracket to the card. Set aside the

screws.

(2) Align the screw holes on the card and the low-profile bracket.

(3) Insert and tighten the two screws.

c. Align the card with the PCIe x 16 slot.

Figure 7. Installing the RAID Controller Card

d. Gently press down on the card so that it is properly seated in the PCIe x 16 slot.

e. Insert and tighten the metal bracket screw to secure the card.

5. Run the multilane SATA cables through the cable slot on the inside left of the unit.

6. Connect the other end of the P5 cable to the motherboard for the optical drive on the DSSRV-DVD.

7. Connect the multilane SATA cable plugs to the 4-lane connectors on the card (refer to Figure 9).

NOTES:

• The bottom DSSRV-RAID connector (SAS_1) must be used for the first set of drives (HD1 to HD4). The top DSSRV-RAID connector (SAS_0) must be used for the second set of hard drives (HD5 and HD6).

• Only one plug is required for the DSSRV-DVD.

COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION1. Carefully place the chassis cover on the unit.

2. Make sure the chassis and chassis cover screw holes are aligned.

3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to secure the chassis cover to the chassis (two screws on the top front, two screws on the left and right side, and three screws on the rear).

4. Install the hard drive carriers as follows:a. With the hard drive latch open, slide hard drive carrier 1 gently into hard drive bay 1. The hard

drive bays and hard disk drives are numbered and must be installed in the following order:

NOTE: Hard disk drive 1 contains the operating system and is not hot-swappable.

(1) Top-left hard drive bay

(2) Bottom-left hard drive bay
