Replacing the dedicated slotless RAID controller

Use this information to replace the dedicated slotless RAID controller.
The dedicated slotless RAID controller can be installed in the dedicated connector on the system board (see
"System-board internal connectors" on page 29 for the location of the connectors).
To replace the dedicated slotless RAID controller, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Read the safety information that begins on "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page
305.
Step 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables,
if necessary.
Step 3. Remove the top cover (see "Removing the top cover" on page 162).
Step 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.
Step 5. Align the controller so that the keys align correctly with the connector on the system board.
Step 6. Insert the controller into the RAID 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
