Use this information to install a ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller.
Note: For brevity, in this documentation the ServeRAID SAS/SATA
controller is often referred to as the SAS/SATA adapter or
the ServeRAID adapter.
The ServeRAID SAS/SATA controller
can be installed in the dedicated connector on the system board or
PCI riser-card slots (see System-board internal connectors for
the location of the connectors). To install a SAS/SATA adapter, complete
the following steps:
Depending on the server model, the server
comes with a ServeRAID H1110, a ServeRAID M1115, a ServeRAID M5110,
or a ServeRAID 5210 SAS/SATA adapter installed.
Note: Remove the PCI
bracket that come with ServeRAID H1110, ServeRAID M1115, ServeRAID
M5110 SAS/SATA, or a ServeRAID 5210 adapter before installing a SAS/SATA
adapter in the dedicated connector on the system board.
Attention:
- You can not install ServeRAID H1110 when microprocessor Intel
Xeon E5-2637 (FRU part number 49Y8124) is installed.
- You can not install ServeRAID M1115 or 6Gb performance optimized
HBA when Quadro 2000 is installed.
You can replace the ServeRAID controller with another
supported ServeRAID controller. For a list of supported ServeRAID
controllers, see the Lenovo ServerProven website.
Note: When you restart the server, you are prompted to import
the existing RAID configuration to the new ServeRAID adapter.
If you have other devices to install or remove, do so now. Otherwise,
go to Completing the installation.
