Installing an optional IBM 4x4 Drive Backplane ServeRAID
Expansion adapter
You can purchase an optional IBM 4x4 drive backplane ServeRAID expansion
adapter. This adapter can be installed only in slot 1 on the two-slot PCI riser card.
See “PCI riser card with two slots” on page 43 and Table 11 on page 71 for more
information on the slot location and the dedicated slot for this adapter. For
configuration information, see the ServeRAID documentation at
http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.
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.
Note:
1. You can only use this adapter with the ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA adapter
and the ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA adapter. This adapter must be installed
in PCI slot 1 and the ServeRAID M1015 or ServeRAID M5015 adapter
(whichever is installed) must be installed in PCI slot 2 on the two-slot PCI riser
card.
2. You can only use the 2.5-inch hot-swap drive backplanes with this adapter.

following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page “Safety” on page v and
“Installation guidelines” on page 44.
2. Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 24) and all attached
peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external
cables from the server.
3. Remove the top cover (see “Removing the server top cover” on page 46).
4. Carefully grasp the riser-card assembly by the blue touch points and pull it up
until the riser-card assembly disengages from the connector on the system
board; then set it aside.
