To install a ServeRAID M5120 SAS/SATA adapter, complete the following steps:
Procedure
1. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new ServeRAID M5120
SAS/SATA 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.
2. Reinstall the RAID cache card, if one was removed earlier (see "Replacing a
RAID cache card" on page 261).
3. Align the ServeRAID M5120 adapter so that the keys align correctly with the
connector on the I/O book board.
4. 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.
5. Close the PCIe retention lever.
6. Reconnect the cables to the adapter and to the RAID cache card.
7. Follow the instructions for replacing the PCIe I/O book for which you replaced
the adapter.
8. Reconnect the power cord and any cables that you removed.
9. Turn on the peripheral devices and the server.
