Attention: Replacing the AnyRAID adapter or PCIe pass-through board might impact your RAID
configurations. Back up your data before you begin to avoid any data loss due to a RAID configuration
change.
1. Remove all external media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then,
disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to
the server.
2. Prepare your server. See "Removing or extending the server from the rack cabinet" on page 69.
3. Remove the server cover. See "Removing the server cover" on page 69.
4. Locate the AnyRAID adapter or PCIe pass-through board. See "Server components" on page 29.
5. Loosen the two screws and grasp the AnyRAID adapter or PCIe pass-through board by its edges
and carefully pull it out.
Note: the AnyRAID adapter or PCIe pass-through board might fit tightly into the slots. If necessary,
alternatively move each side of the AnyRAID adapter or PCIe pass-through board a small and equal
amount until it is removed from the slots.
