Installing
the
optional
IBM
ServeRAID-MR10is
VAULT
SAS/SATA
Controller
The
optional
IBM
ServeRAID-MR10is
VAULT
SAS/SATA
controller
can
be
installed
only
in
its
dedicated
PCI
slot
2
connector
on
the
system
board,
and
only
in
server
models
with
eight
3.5-inch
hot-swap
hard
disk
drives.
See
“System-board
internal
connectors
and
switches”
on
page
14
for
the
location
of
the
connector
on
the
system
board.
The
ServeRAID-MR10is
SAS/SATA
controller
is
not
cabled
to
the
system
board.
Instructions
for
routing
the
cables
are
described
below.
To
install
the
ServeRAID-MR10is
SAS/SATA
controller
and
route
the
cables,
complete
the
following
steps:
1.
Read
the
safety
information
that
begins
on
page
v
and
“Installation
guidelines”
on
page
21.
2.
Turn
off
the
server
and
peripheral
devices,
and
disconnect
the
power
cords
and
all
external
cables.
Attention:
To
avoid
breaking
the
retaining
clips
or
damaging
the
ServeRAID-MR10is
SAS/SATA
adapter
connector,
open
and
close
the
clips
gently.
3.
Remove
the
side
cover
(see
“Removing
the
left-side
cover”
on
page
24).
4.
Rotate
the
rear
adapter-retention
bracket
to
the
open
(unlocked)
position.
5.
Remove
the
screw
that
secures
the
expansion-slot
cover
to
the
chassis
(if
no
adapter
is
installed
in
the
slot).
Store
the
expansion-slot
cover
and
screw
in
a
safe
place
for
future
use.
Note:
Expansion-slot
covers
must
be
installed
on
all
vacant
slots.
This
maintains
the
electronic
emissions
standards
of
the
server
and
ensures
proper
ventilation
of
server
components.

the
retaining
clips
on
each

of
the
ServeRAID-MR10is
adapter
connector.

the
ServeRAID-MR10is
adapter
from
the
package
and
place
it
on
a
static-protective
surface.
