Forconfiguration information, see the ServeRAID documentation athttp://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.Attention: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated codeupdates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level ofcode is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.Note:1. When you install an IBM ServeRAID M5015 SAS/SATA adapter or aServeRAID M5014 SAS/SATA adapter that has an M5000 battery in the server,you must also use the ServeRAID M5000 Series Battery Remote Mount Cableoption to mount the battery remotely in the server.2.
