Removing an IBM ServeRAID-BR10il SAS/SATA Controller

To remove an IBM ServeRAID-BR10il SAS/SATA controller from the system board, complete the following steps:

1.Read the safety information in “Important Safety Information” on page 1 and “Guidelines for trained service technicians” on page 115.

2.Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect the power cord and all external cables.

Note: 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 operation information panel and LEDs inside the server on the system board.

3.Remove the server from the rack and place it on a flat, static-protective surface.

4.Remove the cover (see “Removing and installing the cover” on page 119).

5.Remove the riser-card assembly (see “Removing the riser-card assembly” on page 157).
