This topic provides instructions on how to remove the TR 500 Key if a ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter with
a TR 500 Key option is installed on your server.
Notes:
1. If you remove the TR 500 Key from the RAID card, the hardware RAID 5 and RAID 50 levels are not
available.
2. Use any documentation that comes with the TR 500 Key and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this topic.
Before you begin, print all the related instructions or ensure that you can view the PDF version on another
