Installing an IBM ServeRAID-BR10il v2 SAS/SATA controller

Read the following notes before installing the ServeRAID-BR10il v2 SAS/SATA controller.
Notes:
1. Some server models come with an IBM ServeRAID-BR10il v2 SAS/SATA Controller installed. The
controller can be installed only in the dedicated slot on the system board (see "System-board
optional-device connectors" on page 18 for the location of the connector). Use the following
procedures to install the controller if your server model did not come with this controller installed or
to replace a failing controller.
2. The IBM ServeRAID-BR10il v2 SAS/SATA controller enables integrated RAID levels 0, 1, and 1E
capability on hot-swap hard disk drives. For configuration information, see the RAID documentation
at http://www.lenovo.com/support.
3. Important: To ensure that any of your ServeRAID controllers function properly on UEFI-based
servers, make sure that the controller firmware and supporting device drivers are updated to at least
11.x.x-XXX.
Attention: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device
is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before
you update the code.
1. Read the safety information in "Safety" on page vii and "Installation guidelines" on page 25.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cord and all external cables.
Note: When you disconnect the power source from the server, you lose the ability to view the LEDs
because the LEDs are not lit when the power source is removed. Before you disconnect the
power source, make a note of which LEDs are lit, including the LEDs that are lit on the
operation information panel and LEDs inside the server on the system board.
3. Remove the server from the rack and place it on a flat, static-protective surface.
4. Remove the cover (see "Removing and installing the cover" on page 29).
