M5110 adapter

You can purchase an optional ServeRAID M5110 SAS/SATA Controller for System
x. This adapter can be installed only in the PCIe slots listed in “Supported
adapters” on page 72. 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.
Note:
v For additional information and notes about installing adapters see “Installing an
adapter” on page 70.
v Follow the general rule for connecting the SAS signal cables to the adapter and
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).
To install the ServeRAID M5110 SAS/SATA adapter, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Read the safety information and installation guidelines, see “Safety” on page

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 38).
4. Remove the fan cage assembly (see “Removing the fan cage assembly” on
page 42).
