You cannot use a hardware RAID controller card and the embedded software RAID controller to control
front drives at the same time. See Storage Controller Considerations, on page 129 for details about RAID
support.
Note
Step 1
Prepare the server for component installation:
a) Shut down and remove power from the server as described in Shutting Down and Removing Power From the Server,
on page 39.
b) Slide the server out the front of the rack far enough so that you can remove the top cover. You might have to detach
cables from the rear panel to provide clearance.
If you cannot safely view and access the component, remove the server from the
rack.
Caution
c) Remove the top cover from the server as described in Removing the Server Top Cover, on page 41.
Step 2
Remove any existing SATA interposer card from the server:
A SATA interposer card for this server is preinstalled inside a plastic carrier-frame that helps to secure the card
to the inner chassis wall. You do not have to remove this plastic carrier frame from the existing card.
Note
a) Disconnect PCIe cables from the existing card.
b) Lift up on the card's blue ejector lever to unseat it from the motherboard socket.
c) Lift straight up on the card's carrier frame to disengage the card from the motherboard socket and to disengage the
frame from pegs on the chassis wall.
Step 3
Install a new SATA interposer card:
a) Carefully align the card edge with the motherboard socket. At the same time, align the two slots on the back of the
carrier frame with the pegs on the chassis inner wall.
b) Push on both corners of the card to seat its connector in the riser socket. At the same time, ensure that the slots on
the carrier frame engage with the pegs on the inner chassis wall.
c) Fully close the blue ejector lever on the card to lock the card into the socket.
d) Connect PCIe cables to the new card.
If this is a first-time installation, see Storage Controller Cable Connectors and Backplanes, on page 133 for cabling
instructions.
