Install of H700 controller in dell R610
Solution 1:
There are three types of H700 cards.
- Dell PERC H7000 Integrated Card
- This looks almost exactly like the adapter card, key difference is the PCIe backing plate seen in 2nd image below.
- Dell PERC H700 Adapter Card
- Dell PERC H7000 Modular Card
I couldn't find a good pic for one of these. They only existed for a short time until Dell went to another version and called it the H710, which only lasted a short while until the H800 modular card.
The integrated card installs into the dedicated internal storage slot of the server. See your server motherboard map that came with it to identify the exact location. I put a photo of the motherboard view at the bottom of the post. The adapter goes into a PCIe slot - self explanatory The Modular installs only into blade servers, if you have that one. Bad luck.

Once you've completed physical installation update your firmware to the most recent version. I believe it's AO6 but you will want to validate. Here's a link to AO6.
