Note: If you have installed the optional ServeRAID adapter memory module,
remove it and keep it in future use (see “Removing the ServeRAID adapter
memory module” on page 260).
8. Pull the SAS/SATA adapter horizontally out of the connector on the system
board.
Results
If you are instructed to return the SAS/SATA adapter, follow all packaging
instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to

Replacing a ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller
Use this information to replace a ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller.
About this task
The ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller can be installed in the dedicated connector
on the system board or PCI riser-card slots (see “System-board internal connectors”
on page 28 for the location of the connectors). To install a SAS/SATA adapter,
complete the following steps:
Depending on the server model, the server comes with a ServeRAID H1110, a
ServeRAID M1115, a ServeRAID M5110, or a ServeRAID 5210 SAS/SATA adapter
installed.
Note: Remove the PCI bracket that come with ServeRAID H1110, ServeRAID
M1115, ServeRAID M5110 SAS/SATA, or a ServeRAID 5210 adapter before
installing a SAS/SATA adapter in the dedicated connector on the system board.
Attention:
v You can not install ServeRAID H1110 when microprocessor Intel Xeon E5-2637
(FRU part number 49Y8124) is installed.
v You can not install ServeRAID M1115 or IBM 6Gb performance optimized HBA
when Quadro 2000 is installed.
You can replace the ServeRAID controller with another supported ServeRAID
controller. For a list of supported ServeRAID controllers, see http://
www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.
Note: For brevity, in this documentation the ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller is
often referred to as the SAS/SATA adapter or the ServeRAID adapter.
Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 33.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 36).
4. Remove PCI riser-card assembly 1 if necessary (see “Removing a PCI
riser-card assembly” on page 244).
5. If you are installing a new or replacement SAS/SATA adapter, touch the
static-protective package that contains the new SAS/SATA adapter to any
unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the new SAS/SATA
adapter from the package.
