cover and access any of the components inside the system. See your System
Information Guide for complete information about safety precautions, working
inside the computer, and protecting against electrostatic discharge.
NOTICE: To avoid possible data loss, back up all data on the hard drives before changing the
mode of operation of the integrated SCSI controller from SCSI to RAID.
1Remove the front bezel (if applicable).
2Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet.
3Remove the optional security screw (if applicable). See Figure 1-1.

6Locate the ROMB card connector on the system board. See Figure 1-2.
7If a PCI card is installed over the ROMB card connector, remove it. See your
Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions.
8Position the ROMB card with the notch in its plastic cover facing the redundant power
supply bay, and align the edges of the card with the four plastic standoffs on the
system board. See Figure 1-2.
9Press down on the ROMB card cover until the four plastic standoffs snap over the edge

Installing a ROMB Card 1-3
10 Install the ROMB backup battery:
aRemove the SCSI backplane board. See "Removing the SCSI Backplane Board."
bPosition the battery board as shown in Figure 1-2, and press it down into the two
standoffs until it snaps into place.
cPlug the battery cable into the RAID BAT connector on the system board.
dInstall the SCSI backplane board. See "Installing the SCSI Backplane Board."
11 If you removed a PCI card in step 7, replace it. See your Installation and
Troubleshooting Guide for instructions.
12 Close the system covers.
When closing the covers, close the right (larger) cover first and then close the left
cover. Press firmly on the left cover to snap the securing latch into place.
13 Install the optional security screw (if applicable). See Figure 1-1.
14 Install the front bezel (if applicable).
15 Reconnect the system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn them on.
16 Enter the System Setup program and verify that the setting for the SCSI controller has
changed to reflect the presence of the RAID hardware. See "Using the System Setup
Program" in your User's Guide.
17 Configure the RAID card and logical drives. See the ROMB card documentation for
more information.
Removing the SCSI Backplane Board
1Pull each hard-drive carrier partially out of its slot, approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch).
2Disconnect the diskette-drive interface cable from the FLOPPY connector on the
backplane board. See Figure 1-3.
3Disconnect the CD drive interface cable from the CD_ROM connector on the
backplane board. See Figure 1-3.
4Press the release latch in toward the backplane board and use the handle to pull the
board out of its connector and up out of the chassis.
