Installing a ServeRAID SAS/SATA controllerUse this information to install a ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller.About this taskNote: For brevity, in this documentation the ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller isoften referred to as the SAS/SATA adapter or the ServeRAID adapter.The ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller can be installed in the dedicated connectoron the system board or PCI riser-card slots (see “System-board internal connectors”on page 28 for the location of the connectors). To install a SAS/SATA adapter,complete the following steps:Depending on the server model, the server comes with a ServeRAID H1110, aServeRAID M1115, a ServeRAID M5110, or a ServeRAID 5210 SAS/SATA adapterinstalled.Note: Remove the PCI bracket that come with ServeRAID H1110, ServeRAIDM1115, ServeRAID M5110 SAS/SATA, or a ServeRAID 5210 adapter beforeinstalling a SAS/SATA adapter in the dedicated connector on the system board.Attention:v You can not install ServeRAID H1110 when microprocessor Intel Xeon E5-2637(FRU part number 49Y8124) is installed.v You can not install ServeRAID M1115 or IBM 6Gb performance optimized HBAwhen Quadro 2000 is installed.You can replace the ServeRAID controller with another supported ServeRAIDcontroller. For a list of supported ServeRAID controllers, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/.Procedure1. Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page vii and“Installation guidelines” on page 33.2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.3. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 36).4. Remove PCI riser-card assembly 1 if necessary (see “Removing a PCI riser-cardassembly” on page 244).5. If you are installing a new or replacement SAS/SATA adapter, touch thestatic-protective package that contains the new SAS/SATA adapter to anyunpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the new SAS/SATAadapter from the package.6. Align the SAS/SATA adapter so that the keys align correctly with the connectoron the system board.7. Insert the SAS/SATA adapter in the dedicated connector on the system boardor PCI riser-card slots.Attention: Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the server or theadapter.a. Insert the SAS/SATA adapter into the RAID connector on the system boarduntil it is firmly seated. The retention brackets secure the SAS/SATAadapter in place when the adapter is firmly seated into the connector.60 IBM System x3550 M4 Type 7914: Installation and Service Guide
