• Depending on your server model, the server comes with an onboard RAID controller which provides basic
RAID levels 0 and 1 functionality. The server supports the following optional RAID adapters that you can
purchase for additional RAID support. For configuration information, see the documentation that comes
with the adapter or the ServeRAID documentation at http://www.lenovo.com/support.
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.

Notes:
• The instructions in this section apply to any supported adapter (for example, video graphics adapters
or network adapters).
• You must install an internal ServeRAID adapter in PCI riser-card assembly 2.
• When you install an adapter, make sure that the adapter is correctly seated in the riser-card assembly and
that the riser-card assembly is securely seated in the riser-card connector on the system board before
you turn on the server. An incorrectly seated adapter might cause damage to the system board, the
riser-card assembly, or the adapter.
• Do not set the maximum digital video adapter resolution above 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz for an LCD monitor.
This is the highest resolution that is supported for any add-on video adapter that you install in the server.
• Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on any add-on video adapter is not supported
