This section provides instructions on how to remove the ThinkServer 8708ELP SAS RAID adapter (hereafter referred to as the RAID controller within this section).

The RAID controller is installed on the riser card. To remove the RAID controller, do the following:

Notes:

1.Use any documentation that comes with the RAID controller and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this section.

2.When you disconnect the power source from the server, you lose the ability to view the LEDs because the LEDs are not lit when the power source is removed. Before you disconnect the power source, make a note of which LEDs are lit, including the LEDs that are lit on the front control panel.

1.Remove all media from the drives and turn off all attached devices and the server. Then, disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the server.

2.Remove the server cover. See “Removing the server cover” on page 42.

3.Press the tabs on both sides of the connector on the signal cable towards each other and remove the cable from the RAID controller.

4.Disconnect any other cables from the RAID controller or any cables that impede access to the riser card.

5.Remove the riser card together with the installed RAID controller. See “Removing the riser card” on page 57.

6.Refer to “Removing a PCI card” on page 60 and follow those instructions to remove the RAID controller from the riser card.

Note: Depending on your RAID controller, if necessary, remove the RAID battery from the RAID controller by removing the screws that secure the battery on the controller and disconnecting any cables.

7.If you are instructed to return the RAID controller, follow all packaging instructions and use any packaging materials that are supplied to you for shipping.

8.To complete the removal procedure, go to “Completing the parts replacement” on page 87.
