1.  Read  the  safety  information  that  begins  on  page  v  and  “Installation  guidelines” 
on  page  9. 
2.  Turn  off  the  server  and  peripheral  devices  and  disconnect  all  power  cords  and 
external  cables.
 Attention:  In  a  dc  power  environment,  only  trained  service  personnel  other 
than  IBM  service  technicians  are  authorized  to  connect  or  disconnect  power  to 
the  dc  power  supply.  See  the  documentation  that  comes  with  each  dc  power 
supply. 
3.  Remove  the  server  cover. 
4.  Remove  the  PCI  riser-card  assembly. 
5.  Align  the  keys  on  the  Remote  Supervisor  Adapter  II  SlimLine  connector  with  the 
connector  on  the  system  board. 
6.  Slip  the  free  end  of  the  Remote  Supervisor  Adapter  II  SlimLine  under  the  tab  on 
the  retainer  bracket,  aligning  the  holes  in  the  adapter  with  the  posts  on  the 
retainer  bracket  and  latch  bracket;  then,  press  the  adapter  into  the  connector  on 
the  system  board  and  make  sure  that  all  tabs  on  the  latch  bracket  secure  the 
adapter  in  place.

See
  the  documentation  that  comes  with  the  Remote  Supervisor  Adapter  II  SlimLine 
for  information  about  installing  the  firmware  and  configuring  the  adapter.  Create  a 
backup  copy  of  the  configuration  so  that  if  you  have  to  replace  the  adapter  in  the 
future,  you  can  restore  the  configuration. 
If  you  have  other  optional  devices  to  install  or  remove,  do  so  now.  Otherwise,  go  to 
“Completing  the  installation”  on  page  32. 
Replacing  the  ServeRAID  SAS  controller 
A  ServeRAID  SAS  controller  can  be  installed  only  in  a  dedicated  slot  on  the  system 
board.  The  server  comes  with  a  ServeRAID-8k-l  SAS  Controller  installed. 
Note:  The  ServeRAID-8k-l  SAS  Controller  does  not  have  a  battery.
