4. Rotate the adapter-retention bracket to the open position. 5. Remove the divider that contains the battery holder from the server. 6. Open the retaining clip on each end of the connector. 7. Touch the static-protective package that contains the ServeRAID-MR10k SAS controller to any unpainted metal surface on the outside of the server; then, remove the controller from the package. 8. Turn the controller so that the keys align correctly with the slot. 9. Insert the controller into the connector by aligning the edges of the controller with the slots at the ends of the connector. Attention: Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the server or the ServeRAID-MR10k SAS controller. 10. Firmly press the controller straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends simultaneously. The retaining clips snap into the locked position when the controller is seated in the connector. 11. Install the battery in the divider that contains the battery holder. 12. Connect the battery cable to the ServeRAID-MR10k SAS controller. 13. Install the divider that contains the battery holder in the server. 14. Route the battery cable through the cable routing guides on the divider to the controller. 15. Rotate the adapter-retention bracket to the closed position. If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise, go to "Completing the installation" on page 28. Installing an adapter Note: For hot-pluggable adapters, make sure that the PCI Express hot-plug device driver is installed. For details, see the documentation that comes with the adapter. For more detailed instructions and information about installing PCI Express adapters, see the section about installing optional devices in the User's Guide on the IBM Documentation CD. To install a non-hot-plug or hot-plug PCI Express adapter, complete the following steps: 1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and "Installation guidelines" on page 9. 2. If the adapter is not hot-pluggable, turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords and all external cables as necessary to remove or install the adapter. 3. Remove the server cover and determine which PCI Express expansion slot you will use for the adapter. 26 IBM System x3850 M2 and System x3950 M2 Types 7141 and 7233: Installation Guide
