3.Press down on the left and right side latches and slide the server out of the rack enclosure until both slide rails lock; then, remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 37).

4.Remove the PCI riser-card assembly that contains the adapter (see “Removing a PCI riser-card assembly” on page 42).

vIf you are removing an adapter from PCI expansion slot 1 or 2, remove PCI riser-card assembly 1.

vIf you are removing an adapter from PCI expansion slot 3 or 4, remove PCI riser-card assembly 2.

5.Disconnect any cables from the adapter (make note of the cable routing, in case you reinstall the adapter later).

6.Carefully grasp the adapter by its top edge or upper corners, and pull the adapter from the PCI expansion slot.

7.If the adapter is a full-length adapter in the upper expansion slot of the PCI riser-card assembly and you do not intend to replace it with another full-length adapter, remove the full-length-adapter bracket and store it on the underside of the top of the PCI riser-card assembly.

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

Installing a PCI adapter in a PCI riser-card assembly

To ensure that a ServeRAID-10i, ServeRAID-10is, or ServeRAID-10M adapter works correctly in your server, make sure that the adapter firmware is at the latest level.

Important: 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.

Some high end video adapters are supported by your server. See

http://www.lenovo.com/thinkserver for more information.

Notes:

1.If you are installing a video adapter in your server, do not set the maximum digital video resolution above 1600 x 1200 at 60 Hz for an LCD monitor. This is the highest resolution supported for any video adapter in this server.

2.Any high-definition video-out connector or stereo connector on the video adapter is not supported.

These instructions apply to PCI adapters such as video graphics adapters and network adapters. To install a SAS controller, go to “Installing a SAS controller on the SAS riser card” on page 81.
