Replacing the dedicated slotless HBA controller

Use this information to replace the dedicated slotless HBA controller.
The dedicated slotless HBA controller can be installed in the dedicated connector on the system board (see
"System-board internal connectors" on page 22 for the location of the connectors).
To replace the dedicated slotless HBA controller, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 100.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables, if
necessary.
3. Remove the cover (see "Removing the cover" on page 104).
4. If you are installing a new or replacement controller, touch the static-protective package that contains
the new controller to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the new controller
from the package.
5. Align the controller so that the keys align correctly with the connector on the system board.
6. Insert the controller into the HBA connector on the system board until it is firmly seated. The retention
brackets secure the controller in place when the controller is firmly seated into the connector.
