Removing a ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller

Use this information to remove a ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller.
Before you remove the SAS/SATA adapter from the system board, complete the following steps:
1. Read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 101.
2. If the compute node is installed in a NeXtScale n1200 Enclosure, remove it (see "Removing a compute
node from a chassis" on page 104 for instructions).
3. Carefully lay the compute node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the compute node with
the bezel pointing toward you.
You can replace the ServeRAID controller with another supported ServeRAID controller. For a list of
supported ServeRAID controllers, see http://www.lenovo.com/ serverproven/.
