Installing the ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA controller
The ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA controller must be installed in the dedicated
connector, PCI slot 1, on the system board. The ServeRAID-BR10i adapter is
supported on hot-swap server models only. The ServeRAID-BR10i SAS/SATA
adapter enables integrated RAID levels 0, 1, and 1E capability on hot-swap hard
disk drives.
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.
To install the ServeRAID-BR10i adapter, do the following:
1. Read the safety information (see “Safety” on page vii and “Installation
guidelines” on page 37).
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables. Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover”
on page 43).
Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the
ServeRAID-BR10i adapter connector, open and close the clips gently.
3. Carefully position the server on its side so that it is lying flat and facing up.
Note: Do not allow the server to fall over.
4. Rotate the rear adapter-retention bracket to the open (unlocked) position.
5. Open the retaining clip on each end of the ServeRAID-BR10i adapter
connector on the system board.
6. Touch the static-protective package containing the ServeRAID-BR10i adapter
to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the
ServeRAID-BR10i adapter from the package.
7. Turn the ServeRAID-BR10i adapter so that the ServeRAID-BR10i adapter keys
align correctly with the connector.
Attention: Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or
the ServeRAID-BR10i adapter.
