The ServeRAID Expansion Adapter (also known as the IBM x3690 X5 RAID Expansion Adapter or IBM 

4x4 Drive Backplane ServeRAID Expansion adapter) is a SAS expander that allows you to create RAID 
arrays of up to 16 drives and across up to four backplanes. You can use only the 2.5-inch hot-swap drive 
backplanes with this adapter. You can use the Expansion Adapter only with the following RAID 
controllers:

ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA adapter 

ServeRAID M5014 SAS/SATA adapter

ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA adapter

The Expansion Adapter must be installed in PCI Slot 1 and the ServeRAID adapter must be installed in 

PCI Slot 3.
