Removing and Replacing the SAS Core I/O Card
The SAS core I/O card connects to the SAS disk backplane and controls internal data storage
operations for the server. There are four types of SAS core I/O cards supported on the server:
•
A half length generic SAS card (PCI-X)
•
A full length SAS card with RAID capability (PCI-X or PCIe)
•
Full length SAS card with RAID capability able to connect to external storage (PCIe)
The server ships standard with two SAS backplane boards. Slots 1 and 2 are dedicated for the
PCI-X core I/O cards. The LAN core I/O card is installed either in slot 2 or slot 10 depending on
the configuration. PCIe SAS core I/O cards are installed in slots 3 or 4 on the PCIe I/O backplane.
CAUTION:
PCI/PCI-X slots 1 and 2 are dedicated for use by core I/O cards. Do not place any
other PCI/PCI-X expansion cards in slots 1 and 2. Slots 1 and 2 are not hot-plug capable.
IMPORTANT:
The number of SAS core I/O cards determines the SAS configuration. The SAS
configuration affects the location of the LAN core I/O card. In a single SAS core I/O card
configuration, the secondary set of SAS cables connect to the secondary SAS backplane, but
are routed and lay loose in the server I/O backplane area.

WARNING!
Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources have been
disconnected from the server prior to performing this procedure.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever an AC power source is
connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is in the off position.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
CAUTION:
Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to
follow ESD safety precautions can result in damage to the server.
Removing the SAS Core I/O Card
NOTE:
You may need to remove the LAN core I/O card to access the SAS core I/O card.
To remove the SAS core I/O card, follow these steps:
1.
Power off the server and disconnect the power cables. See
2.
If rack installed, slide the server completely out from the rack. See
