If you are instructed to return the SAS/SATA controller, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you. Installing the IBM ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA Controller Some server models come with the IBM ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA Controller installed. The adapter can be installed only in the dedicated slot on the SAS/SATA RAID riser card assembly on the system board (see "System-board internal connectors" on page 69 for the location of the connector). Use the connector on the SAS/SATA RAID riser card assembly for the RAID controllers. The IBM ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA controller enables integrated RAID levels 0, 1, and 1E capability on hot-swap hard disk drives. To install the adapter if your server model did not come with this adapter installed, complete the following steps to install the IBM ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA Controller: Attention: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code. 1. Read the safety information in Chapter 2 "Safety information" on page 3 and "Installation guidelines" on page 67. 2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables, if necessary. Note: When you disconnect the power source from the server, you will lose the ability to view the LEDs because the LEDs will not be lit with the power source removed. Before disconnecting the power source, make a note of which LEDs are lit, including the LEDs that are lit on the operation information panel, the EasyLED panel, and LEDs that are lit inside the server on the system board; then, see the "EasyLED" on page 20 for information on how to solve the problem. 3. Remove the cover (see "Removing and replacing the cover" on page 72). 4. Touch the static-protective package that contains the new ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA controller to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server; then, grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners of the controller and remove it from the package. 5. Align the ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA controller so that the keys align correctly with the connector on the SAS/SATA RAID riser card assembly. 92 ThinkServer RD210 Hardware Maintenance Manual
