Lenovo 70AL Maintenance Manual page 42

Some server models come with a required RAID card to provide advanced SATA/SAS hardware RAID
functions to the server. If your server does not come with a RAID card, you can purchase one from Lenovo.
See "Installing or removing the RAID card" on page 82.
Notes:
• The option kit for the RAID card is designed for different types of servers and might contain additional
cables that are not required for your server.
• For server models with more than four SATA hard disk drives or models that use SAS hard disk drives,
there must be a RAID card installed.
Your server supports the following RAID cards:
• ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter (also known as ThinkServer 9240-8i RAID 0/1 Adapter)
• ThinkServer RAID 700 Adapter (also known as ThinkServer 9260-8i SAS RAID Adapter)
ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter (also known as ThinkServer 9240-8i RAID 0/1 Adapter)
The following illustration shows the connectors on the ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter.
