Installing An Adapter - Lenovo System x3550 M4 Installation And Service Manual

Installing an adapter

The following notes describe the types of adapters that the server supports and other information that
you must consider when you install an adapter.
• Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter and follow those instructions in addition to
the instructions in this section.
• The server provides one internal SAS/SATA RAID connector and two PCI slots on the system board.
See "System-board optional-device connectors" on page 30 for the location of the internal SAS/SATA
RAID connector and riser-card slots. You can replace the ServeRAID SAS/SATA adapter with an
optional ServeRAID SAS/SATA adapter in the slot. For configuration information, see the ServeRAID
documentation at http://www.lenovo.com/support.
• 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.
