Removing a SAS Controller Card
1
Disconnect the SAS cable, LED cable, and RAID battery cable (if
applicable) from the SAS controller card.
2
Grasp the card by its top corners and ease it out of its connector. See
"Removing an Expansion Card" on page 107.
3
If you are removing the card permanently, install a filler bracket in the
empty card slot.
NOTE: Filler brackets must be installed over empty expansion card slots to
maintain Federal Communications Commission (FCC) certification of the
system. The brackets also keep dust and dirt out of the system and aid in
proper cooling and airflow inside the system.

If applicable, remove the RAID battery from the battery holder. See
"Installing and Removing a RAID Battery" on page 116.
