Replacing an optional IBM ServeRAID Controller
You can purchase an optional IBM ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller that provides
additional RAID feature support. For configuration information, see the ServeRAID
documentation at http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
Attention: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code
updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of
code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.
Notes:
v You must install a ServeRAID adapter on PCI riser-card assembly 2.
v When you install an IBM ServeRAID adapter that has a RAID adapter battery in
the server, you must install the battery remotely in the remote battery tray (see
“Installing a RAID adapter battery remotely in the server” on page 60).
To install an IBM ServeRAID adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page Safety and “Installation
guidelines” on page 30.
2. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new ServeRAID adapter
to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server; then, grasp the adapter
by the top edge or upper corners of the adapter and remove it from the
package.
3. Align the ServeRAID adapter so that the keys align correctly with the
connector on the PCI riser-card assembly.
4. Insert the ServeRAID adapter into the connector on the riser-card until it is
firmly seated.
Attention: Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the server or the
adapter.
