Thank you for purchasing the MegaRAID® SAS (Serial
Attached SCSI/Serial ATA II) 84016E (PCI Express) RAID
controller. The MegaRAID SAS 84016E RAID controller
supports sixteen ports.
Please take a few minutes to read this quick installation
guide before you install the controller. If you need more
information about any topic covered in this guide, refer to the
related documents on your MegaRAID Universal Software
Suite CD.
Note: SATA II is the only type of SATA supported by the
MegaRAID SAS 84016E RAID controller.
You can use the intelligent Battery Backup Unit 01
(LSIiBBU01) remotely with the MegaRAID SAS 84016E
RAID controller. The LSIiBBU01 has to be secured in the
system and connected to the back of the RAID controller
with a 20-pin cable. For more information about this battery,
refer to the MegaRAID Battery Backup Unit User’s Guide on
the MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD.
Step 2 Prepare the Computer
Turn off the computer and unplug the power
cord(s) from the back of the power supply.
Remove the cover from the computer.
Before you install the controller, make sure that

from any networks.
Figure 1 shows the location of the jumpers and
the connectors on the SAS 84016E. The jumpers
are set at the factory, and you usually do not need
to change them.

If the firmware flashed onto the
board is corrupted, you need to
jumper J5 (this holds the CPU core
in reset), so you can flash the firmware. Remove the jumper after
you flash the new firmware.
No jumper: This is the setting during normal operation (Mode 3).
This is the default.
Jumper: This holds the CPU core
in reset (Mode 0).
Note: The card does not function
as a RAID controller if this jumper
is mounted.
Used for diagnostic purposes. You
need a LSI RS232 adapter to interface with a PC.

Step 4 Install the MegaRAID SAS 84016E RAID
Controller
Insert the SAS 84016E in a PCI-E slot on the
mainboard, as shown in Figure 2. Press down
gently but firmly to seat the card properly in the
slot. Secure the SAS 84016E to the computer
chassis with the bracket screw.
Note: Refer to your mainboard guide for information
about the PCI-E slot.
Note: This is a PCI Express x8 card, so it fits only in a
PCI Express slot that is x8 or larger.
