CAUTION: Before you perform this procedure, you must turn off the system and
disconnect it from its power source. For more information, see "Safety First—For
You and Your System" in "Troubleshooting Your System."
CAUTION: Only trained service technicians are authorized to remove the system
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.
1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system
from the electrical outlet.
2. Open the system covers. See "Opening the System Covers" in "Troubleshooting Your
