Note:
Remove the PCI bracket that comes with either the ServeRAID M5210, ServeRAID M1215, or
ServeRAID M5225 adapter before installing it in the dedicated connector on the system board.
You can replace the ServeRAID controller with another supported ServeRAID controller. For a list of
supported ServeRAID controllers, see http://www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/.
Notes:
• For brevity, in this documentation the ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller is often referred to as the
SAS/SATA
adapter
or the
ServeRAID adapter
.
• If possible, back up or record your RAID configuration information before replacing the adapter. See the
documentation for your RAID adapter for information and instructions. Documentation for ServeRAID
adapters can be downloaded from http://www.lenovo.com/support.
Step 1.
Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on
page 116.
Step 2.
Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.
Step 3.
Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 119).
Step 4.
If you are installing a new or replacement SAS/SATA adapter, touch the static-protective package
that contains the new SAS/SATA adapter to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then,
remove the new SAS/SATA adapter from the package.
Step 5.
Align the SAS/SATA adapter so that the keys align correctly with the connector on the system board.
Step 6.
Insert the SAS/SATA adapter in the dedicated connector on the system board or the PCI riser-card
assembly slot.
Attention:
1. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the server or the adapter.
2. Note the order and position of the cables to the RAID card prior to service. Misconnecting the
hard disk drive cables may result in a lost RAID array.
