• If you are replacing a ServeRAID adapter, import your RAID configuration to the replacement adapter as a
foreign configuration after you finish the replacement. For more information, see
at https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/migr-5086126.
To install an adapter, do the following:
Step 1.
Turn off the server. Then, disconnect all external cables and remove all peripheral devices.
Step 2.
Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 88.
Step 3.
Remove the PCI riser-card assembly. See “Removing the PCI riser-card assembly” on page 93.
Step 4.
Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted metal surface on
the server; then, remove the adapter from the package.
Step 5.
Place the adapter, component side up, on a flat, static-protective surface and set any jumpers or
switches as described by the adapter manufacturer, if necessary.
Step 6.
Connect the cables to the adapter.
Step 7.
Position the adapter near the slot on the PCI riser-card assembly. Then, press the adapter firmly
into the PCI riser-card assembly. Ensure that the adapter is securely installed in the PCI riser-card
assembly.
Important:
Make sure that the U-shaped opening in the metal adapter bracket engages the

Step 8.
Route the adapter cables. Refer to “Internal cable routing” on page 158.
Step 9.
Reinstall the PCI riser-card assembly. See “Installing the PCI riser-card assembly” on page 94.
Attention:
When you install an adapter, make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the PCI
riser-card assembly and that the PCI riser-card assembly is securely seated in the riser-card
connector on the system board before you turn on the server. An incorrectly seated adapter might
damage the system board, the PCI riser-card assembly, or the adapter.
Step 10. Complete the parts replacement. See “Completing the parts replacement” on page 172.
Notes:
• If the server is configured for RAID operation through an optional ServeRAID adapter, you might have
to reconfigure your disk arrays after you install an adapter. For additional information about RAID
operation and complete instructions for using ServeRAID Manager, see the ServeRAID documentation on
the
Lenovo ServeRAID Support
CD.
