Learn how to install a PCIe3 x8 SAS RAID internal adapter 6 Gb.
If your system is managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC), use the HMC to install the
part in the system. For instructions, see “Installing a part by using the HMC” on page 64.
If you do not have an HMC, complete the following steps to install a SAS RAID internal adapter:

Learn how to prepare the system to install a PCIe3 x8 SAS RAID internal adapter 6 Gb.
To prepare the system to install a SAS RAID internal adapter, complete the following steps:
1.
Ensure that the software that is required to support the feature is installed on your system. For
information about software prerequisites, see the IBM Prerequisite website (http://www-
912.ibm.com/e_dir/eServerPrereq.nsf). If the required system firmware, software, or fix packs are not
installed on your system, go to the Fix Central website (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/) to
download and install them before you continue.
2.
Identify the system that you will be working on. For instructions, see “Control panel LEDs” on page
22 and Enabling enclosure or server indicators with the ASMI.
3.
Complete the prerequisite tasks. For instructions, see “Before you begin” on page 19.
4.
Stop the system or logical partition. For instructions, see “Stopping a system or logical partition” on
page 33.
5.
Label and remove all power supply cords that are connected to the power supplies.
6.
For a rack-mounted system, place the system into the service position. For instructions, see “Placing
the rack-mounted system into the service position” on page 56.
7.
Attach the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap. The ESD wrist strap must be connected to an
unpainted metal surface until the service procedure is completed, and if applicable, until the service
access cover is replaced.
