Replacing An Adapter; Removing An Adapter - Lenovo ThinkServer TS200 6522 Hardware Maintenance Manual

The following cables are provided:
v Power cables: Four-wire power cables connect the drives to the power supply. At the ends of these
cables are plastic connectors that can be attached to different drives; these connectors vary in size. Use
either a four-wire power cable or SATA power cable with SATA drives, but do not use both at the same
time (use one or the other).
v Signal cables: Signal cables are typically flat cables, also called ribbon cables, that connect SATA
attached, SATA and SAS to the system board. Two or three types of signal cables come with the server:
– SATA attached (for optical drives): The flat SATA-attached signal cable has two connectors. One of
these connectors is attached to the optical drive, and one is attached to one of the connectors on the
system board.
– Simple-swap SATA: Simple-swap SATA models come with four SATA cables that are already
connected to the system board and the backplate at the rear of the simple-swap drive cage.
– Hot-swap SAS/SATA: Hot-swap SAS/SATA models come with one or two (depending on the
model) data cables that connect the SAS/SATA controller to the hot-swap backplane. The data cable
provides inherent connectivity for the SAS or SATA drives that the server supports. Therefore,
additional cabling is not required for these drives.
For more information about the requirements for SAS/SATA cables and connecting SAS/SATA devices,
see the documentation that comes with these devices.

Replacing an adapter

Use the following procedures to replace an adapter.

Removing an adapter

To remove an adapter, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page 1.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices; then, disconnect all power cords and external cables.
3. Unlock and remove the side cover (see "Removing the side cover" on page 130).
4. Disconnect any cables from the adapter or any cables that impede access to the adapter.
5. Open the rear retention bracket.
6. If you are removing a full-length adapter, press on the retaining tab (two blue pull points) on the left
side of the front adapter-retention bracket until the release lever on the right side of the bracket
clicks into place.
7. Remove the expansion-slot screw at the rear of the adapter if any.
8. Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners. And pull the adapter from the server.
Attention: Expansion-slot covers must be installed in all empty slots. This maintains the electronic
emissions standards of the computer and ensures proper ventilation of computer components.
