Removing and Replacing the SAS Core I/O Card

The SAS core I/O card connects to the SAS disk backplane and controls internal data storage
operations for the server. There are four types of SAS core I/O cards supported on the server:
A half length generic SAS card (PCI-X)
A full length SAS card with RAID capability (PCI-X or PCIe)
Full length SAS card with RAID capability able to connect to external storage (PCIe)
The server ships standard with two SAS backplane boards. Slots 1 and 2 are dedicated for the
PCI-X core I/O cards. The LAN core I/O card is installed either in slot 2 or slot 10 depending on
the configuration. PCIe SAS core I/O cards are installed in slots 3 or 4 on the PCIe I/O backplane.
CAUTION:
other PCI/PCI-X expansion cards in slots 1 and 2. Slots 1 and 2 are not hot-plug capable.
IMPORTANT:
configuration affects the location of the LAN core I/O card. In a single SAS core I/O card
configuration, the secondary set of SAS cables connect to the secondary SAS backplane, but
are routed and lay loose in the server I/O backplane area.
Table 77 lists the SAS core I/O card locations and SAS configurations.
