MegaRAID SAS 9260CV-4i RAID Controller and SAS 9260CV-8i RAID Controller
Thank you for purchasing the LSI™ MegaRAID® 6Gb/s SAS 9260CV-4i RAID controller or
the LSI MegaRAID
provides reliability, high performance, and fault-tolerant drive subsystem
management.
Before you install your RAID controller, please take a few minutes to read this quick
installation guide. This guide documents how to install the RAID controller and connect
the CacheVault Flash Module (CVFM01)to the remote CacheVault Power Module
(CVPM01). If you need more information about any topic covered in this guide, refer to
the related documents on your MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD.

!
CAUTION
Product Overview This MegaRAID SAS 9260CV RAID controller is a SAS2108 RAID-on-Chip (ROC)-based,
low-profile, PCIe 2.0 internal RAID Host Bus Adapter (HBA) with vertical internal HDD
connectors and non-volatile memory module with cache offload.
The controller offers a 6-Gb/s data transfer rate with the following options:
The SAS 9260CV-4i RAID controller controls four internal SAS or SATA ports through
one SFF-8087 x4 internal connector.
The SAS 9260CV-8i RAID controller controls eight internal SAS or SATA ports
through two SFF-8087 x4 internal connectors.
The MegaRAID SAS RAID controller has a CacheVault Flash Module. This includes
on-board 512MB non-volatile DDR2 800MT/s memory. The CVFM01 connects to a
remote CVPM01 power module. The CVPM01 provides power while the contents of the
DRAM cache are being transferred to NAND flash in the event of power or server failure.
The CVPM01 unit is an intelligent backup power supply solution. It provides capacitor
charge maintenance and capacitor health monitoring functions similar to those of an
intelligent Battery Backup Unit (iBBU). The CVPM01 unit provides sufficient energy to
transfer the cache memory contents from DRAM to a non-volatile flash memory array
on the CVFM01 for cache data retention up to three years.
Installing the RAID Controller
NOTE: Record your controller serial number in a safe location in case you need to
contact LSI.
NOTE: SATA II is the only type of SATA supported by this RAID controller.
Back up your data before changing your system configuration.
Otherwise, you might lose data.
1. Unpack the RAID Controller
Unpack the RAID controller in a static-free environment. Remove it from the
antistatic bag, and inspect it for damage. If the RAID controller appears to be
damaged, or if the MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD is missing, contact LSI or
your MegaRAID OEM support representative.
The CD contains utility programs, device drivers for various operating systems, and
the following documentation:

Turn off the computer, and unplug the power cords from the rear of the power
supply. Remove the cover from the computer.
Before you install the RAID controller, make sure that the computer is
disconnected from the power and from any networks.
3. Review the Jumpers and the Connectors
Figure2 shows the location of the jumpers and the connectors on the RAID
controller. The jumpers are set at the factory, and you do not usually need to change
them.
NOTE: The SAS 9260CV-4i RAID controller does not contain the JT2B1 connector, which
supports ports 4–7. The SAS 9260CV-8i RAID controller contains the JT2B1 connector.

Tab le 1 describes the jumpers and the connectors on the RAID controller.
NOTE: Pin 1 on the headers and connectors is highlighted in red in Figure2.
