RAID card This topic provides information to help you locate the connectors on the RAID card if a RAID card installed is in the longer slot of the riser card assembly 1. Some server models come with a RAID card to provide advanced SATA/SAS hardware RAID functions. You also can purchase a supported RAID card from Lenovo and install it into the server. See "Installing or removing the RAID card" on page 105. Notes: • The option kit for a RAID card is designed for different types of servers and might contain additional cables that are not required for your server. • The server must have a RAID card and an expander card installed to support more than eight hard disk drives. Your server supports the following RAID cards: • ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter (also known as ThinkServer 9240-8i RAID 0/1 Adapter) • ThinkServer RAID 700 Adapter (also known as ThinkServer 9260-8i SAS RAID Adapter) • ThinkServer RAID 710 Adapter (also known as 9270CV-8i RAID adapter) ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter (also known as ThinkServer 9240-8i RAID 0/1 Adapter) The following illustration shows the connectors on the ThinkServer RAID 500 Adapter.
