Installing the ThinkServer 8708ELP SAS RAID Adapter

Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding the “Safety information” on page iii and “Guidelines” on page 17.

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

To install the RAID controller, do the following:

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

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 19.

3.Touch the static-protective package that contains the RAID controller to any unpainted surface on the outside of the server. Then, remove the RAID controller from the package.

4.Depending on your RAID controller, you might need to install a ThinkServer 8708ELP SAS RAID adapter battery (hereafter referred to as the battery card assembly) on the RAID controller. The battery card assembly mounts directly to the RAID controller through a small board-to-board connector (daughtercard).

Notes:

a.The battery card assembly protects the integrity of the cached data on the RAID controller by providing backup power up to 72 hours in the case of a complete ac power failure or a brief power outage. It has built-in functionality to charge the battery pack automatically and to communicate battery status information such as voltage, temperature, and current to your server. It also provides an inexpensive alternative to using an uninterruptible power supply, and a second level of fault tolerance when used in conjunction with an uninterruptible power supply. For more information about the battery card assembly, see Appendix A “RAID battery card assembly” on page 97.

b.The battery card assembly option kit contains a user guide, the battery card assembly, and three Phillips-head screws. Do not remove the battery card assembly from the antistatic shipping container until you are ready to install it. When you remove the battery card assembly from your server, place it in its original container.

c.Check the appropriate support Web sites for the latest updates for your basic input/output system (BIOS) code, utility programs, device drivers, and other software applications. Follow the instructions provided by your Service Provider to download and install updates.
