If you have other optional devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to
"Completing the installation" on page 49.
Installing the optional IBM ServeRAID-MR10is VAULT SAS/SATA
Controller
The optional IBM ServeRAID-MR10is VAULT SAS/SATA controller can be installed
only in its dedicated PCI slot 2 connector on the system board, and only in server
models with eight 3.5-inch hot-swap hard disk drives. See "System-board internal
connectors and switches" on page 14 for the location of the connector on the
system board. The ServeRAID-MR10is SAS/SATA controller is not cabled to the
system board. Instructions for routing the cables are described below.
To install the ServeRAID-MR10is SAS/SATA controller and route the cables,
complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines"
on page 21.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables.
Attention:
To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the
ServeRAID-MR10is SAS/SATA adapter connector, open and close the clips
gently.
3. Remove the side cover (see "Removing the left-side cover" on page 24).
4. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position.
5. Remove the screw that secures the expansion-slot cover to the chassis (if no
adapter is installed in the slot). Store the expansion-slot cover and screw in a
safe place for future use.
Note: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This
maintains the electronic emissions standards of the server and ensures proper
ventilation of server components.
6. Open the retaining clips on each end of the ServeRAID-MR10is adapter
connector.
7. Touch the static-protective package that contains the ServeRAID-MR10is
adapter to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the
ServeRAID-MR10is adapter from the package and place it on a
static-protective surface.
