Installing or removing the RAID card

This topic provides instructions on how to install or remove the RAID card.
A specific RAID card is required for server models with more than four SATA hard disk drives or models
that use SAS hard disk drives. You also can purchase a supported RAID card from Lenovo and install it
into the server for advanced SATA/SAS hardware RAID functions. For more information, see "RAID card"
on page 29 and "Configuring RAID" on page 57.
Note: The RAID card is sensitive to ESD. Ensure that you read and understand "Handling static-sensitive
devices" on page 66 first and carefully perform the operation.
