Installing the RAID card
Attention:
Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding “Safety information”
on page iii and “Guidelines” on page 65.
This topic provides instructions on how to install the RAID card.
Before you begin, print all the related instructions or ensure that you can view the PDF version on another
computer for reference.
Notes:
• Ensure that you back up your data before installing the RAID card because you might need to reconfigure
RAID and reinstall the operating system after installing the RAID card.
• Use any documentation that comes with the RAID card and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this topic.
To install the RAID card, do the following:
1. Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all
power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.
2. Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 67.
3. Lay the server on its side for easier operation.
4. Locate the PCI-E slot 1 on the system board. See “System board components” on page 38.
5. Remove any parts or disconnect any cables that might impede your operation.
6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the RAID card to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server. Then, take the RAID card out of the package.
Note:
Carefully handle the RAID card by its edges.
7. Install the RAID card. The procedure is similar to that of the Ethernet card. See “Installing the Ethernet
card” on page 78.
8. Connect signal cables to the connectors on the new RAID card and the connectors on the hot-swap
hard disk drive backplanes. See “Connecting the cables” on page 35.
9. Install the PCI card bracket assembly that comes with the RAID card. See “Removing and reinstalling
the PCI card bracket assembly” on page 71.
What to do next:
• To work with another piece of hardware, go to the appropriate section.
• To complete the installation, go to “Completing the parts replacement” on page 149. Then, configure
RAID for your server. See “Configuring RAID” on page 57.
• After a Lenovo RAID card is installed, do the following:
1. Check the version of the new RAID card firmware by pressing Ctrl+H when starting the Setup
Utility program.
2. Go to http://www.lenovo.com/drivers and follow the instructions on the Web page to download the
latest version of firmware. Then, install the firmware to your server.
Note:
If you want to use the Firmware Updater program, ensure that it is the latest version. To get the
latest version of the Firmware Updater program, go to http://www.lenovo.com/drivers, locate different
versions of the program, and then identify the latest version by comparing readme files. If the latest
version of the Firmware Updater program does not contain the latest version of the driver you need,
download that driver separately from the Web page and install it individually to your server.
