Installing the IBM ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller Some server models come with a IBM ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller. The ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller enables integrated RAID level-5 capability on hot-swap SAS models that support 2.5-inch and 3.5- inch SAS hard disk drives. To install and cable the ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and "Installation guidelines" on page 47. 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 52). 4. Remove the hard disk drive fan assembly: a. Disconnect the hard disk drive fan assembly cable from the system board and make a note of where the cable was connected for later installation. b. Remove all hard disk drives. c. Press and hold the drive cage release tab on the side of the drive cage; then, rotate the drive cage out of the chassis until the retaining tab on top of the cage locks into place. d. Pull out on the hard disk drive fan assembly release tabs (at the blue dots); then, rotate the assembly away from the drive cage slightly. 5. Disconnect the signal and power cables and the existing SAS/SATA controller (if one is installed); then, remove the controller from the server. 6. Touch the static-protective package that contains the ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller from the package. 7. Align the ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller so that the keys align correctly with the connector on the system board. Attention: Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the ServeRAID-MR10i controller. 100 System x3200 M2 Types 4367 and 4368: Problem Determination and Service Guide
