Installing the optional ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller

The optional ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller can be installed only in its dedicated connector, PCI slot 1, on the system board. The ServeRAID-MR10i adapter is supported on hot-swap server models only. The ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA adapter enables integrated RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 support capability on hot-swap hard disk drives. For configuration information, see the documentation on the ServeRAID CD that comes with the adapter.

Important: To ensure that any of your ServeRAID 10i, 10is, or 10M adapters function properly on UEFI-based servers, make sure that the adapter firmware level is updated to at least 11.xx-XXX, and the supporting drivers.

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-MR10i 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-MR10i adapter connector, open and close the clips gently.

3.Remove the side cover (see “Removing the side cover” on page 43).

4.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.

5.Remove the screw that secures the expansion-slot cover to the chassis (if no adapter is installed in the slot). Store the expansion-slot cover and screw in a safe place for future use.

Note: Expansion-slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots. This maintains the electronic emissions standards of the server and ensures proper ventilation of server components.

6.Open the retaining clips on each end of the ServeRAID-MR10i adapter connector on the system board.

7.Touch the static-protective package that contains the ServeRAID-MR10i adapter to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the ServeRAID-MR10i adapter and battery pack from the package.

8.If the battery pack (battery carrier and battery) did not come installed on the ServeRAID adapter, install the battery pack.

a.Align the battery carrier pins and the connector for the battery carrier with the pin holes and connector on the ServeRAID adapter; then, lower the battery carrier onto the ServeRAID adapter.
