adapters” on page 68. For configuration information, see the ServeRAID
documentation at http://www.ibm.com/supportportal/.
Attention: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code
updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of
code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.

drive backplane: port 0 on the adapter to port 0 on the drive backplane and port
1 on the adapter to port 1 on the drive backplane (depending on the type of
drive backplane you install in the server).

4. Remove the fan cage assembly (see “Removing the fan cage assembly” on page
40).
