d.Pull out on the hard disk drive fan assembly release tabs (at the blue dots); then, rotate the assembly away from the drive cage slightly.

5.Disconnect the signal and power cables and the existing SAS/SATA controller (if one is installed); then, remove the controller from the server.

6.Touch the static-protective package that contains the ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the ServeRAID-MR10i SAS/SATA controller from the package.
