Removing a ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller from the SAS/SATA RAID
riser card
Use this information to remove a ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller from the SAS/SATA RAID riser card.
A ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller is installed in a dedicated slot on the SAS/SATA RAID riser card.
Depending on the server model, the server comes with a ServeRAID-BR10il v2, ServeRAID-M1015,
ServeRAID-M5014, or a ServeRAID-M5015 SAS/SATA adapter 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.
To remove the SAS/SATA adapter from a SAS/SATA RAID riser card, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Read the safety information that begins on
“Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page
417
.
Step 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.
Step 3. Remove the cover (see
“Removing the cover” on page 424).
Step 4. Locate the SAS/SATA RAID riser card and controller assembly near the left-front corner of the
server.
Step 5. Disconnect the SAS signal cables from the connectors on the SAS/SATA adapter and note their
locations.
