Lenovo System x3850 X6 Installation And Service Manual page 108

Step 1. Before you begin, read "Safety" on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 44.
Step 2. Turn off the server (see "Turning off the server" on page 40) and all attached peripheral devices.
Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables from the server.
Step 3. Remove the I/O book in which the failed adapter is installed. Follow the removal instructions as
documented for the I/O book.
Step 4. Open the PCIe retention lever and remove the expansion slot cover from the slot in which you want
to install the adapter.
Step 5. Make sure that the PCIe retention lever is in the open position.
Step 6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server; then, grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners of the adapter and
remove it from the package.
Step 7. If the RAID cache card is not already attached to the adapter, see "Installing a RAID cache card" on
page 97 for instructions on installing and cabling the cache card. If a flash power module comes
with the cache card, see "Installing a RAID adapter flash power module in the storage book" on
page 97 and "Installing a RAID adapter flash power module in the standard I/O book" on page 98
for information about where to store flash power modules.
Step 8. Align the adapter so that the keys align correctly with the connector on the I/O book board.
Step 9. Insert the adapter into the connector, aligning the edge connector on the adapter with the
connector on the I/O book board. Press the edge of the connector on the adapter firmly into the
connector. Make sure that the adapter snaps into the connector on the I/O book board securely.
Attention: Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated into the connector before you turn on the
server. An incorrectly seated adapter might cause damage to the I/O book board or the adapter.
Step 10. Close the PCIe retention lever.
Step 11. Follow the instructions for reinstalling the I/O book that you removed.
Step 12. Connect any external cables to the adapter, if applicable.
Note: Follow the general rule for connecting the SAS signal cables to the adapter and drive
backplane: port 0 on the adapter to port 0 on the drive backplane and port 1 on the adapter to port
1 on the drive backplane (depending on the type of drive backplanes you installed in the server).
Step 13. Perform any configuration tasks that are required for the adapter.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on
page 117.
