Some server models come with a required RAID card to provide advanced SATA/SAS hardware RAID
functions. If your server does not come with a RAID card, you can purchase one from Lenovo.
Note: The option kit for the RAID card is designed for different types of servers and might contain additional
cables that are not required for your server.
If your server has one microprocessor installed, it is recommended that the RAID card be installed into the
PCI-E slot 5 or PCI-E slot 2. If your server has two microprocessors installed, it is recommended that the
RAID card be installed into the PCI-E slot 4. See "Installing or removing the RAID card" on page 104 and
"System board components" on page 48.
Your server supports the following RAID cards:
• ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter (also known as ThinkServer 9240-8i RAID 0/1 Adapter)
• ThinkServer RAID 700 Adapter (also known as ThinkServer 9260-8i SAS RAID Adapter)
• ThinkServer RAID 710 Adapter (also known as 9270CV-8i RAID adapter)
ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter (also known as ThinkServer 9240-8i RAID 0/1 Adapter)
The following illustration shows the connectors on the ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter.
