Removing the SAS Controller Daughter Card

The following procedure applies to either a SAS controller or a SAS RAID controller daughter card. A SAS RAID controller daughter card is illustrated in Figure 3-28.

1If applicable, disconnect the RAID battery cable from the controller card by releasing the tab on the cable connector on the daughter card and pulling the battery cable free.

2Push outward on the plastic guide rails and gently pull up on the card edges until the card-edge connector clears the socket on the system board. See Figure 3-28.
