Notes:
• This adapter must be installed only in the PCIe slots on the storage book. See “Storage book” on page 24
for more information.
• For additional information and notes about installing adapters see “Installing an adapter” on page 83 and
“Supported RAID adapters” on page 86.
• Follow the general rule for connecting the SAS signal cables to the adapter and drive backplane: port 0 on
the adapter to port 0 on the drive backplane and port 1 on the adapter to port 1 on the drive backplane
(depending on the type of drive backplane you install in the server).
To install the ServeRAID M5210 SAS/SATA adapter, complete the following steps:
Step 1. Before you begin, read “Safety” on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 44.
Step 2. Turn off the server (see “Turning off the server” on page 40) and all attached peripheral devices.
Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables from the server.
Step 3. Remove the storage book (see “Removing the storage book” on page 273).
Step 4. Open the PCIe retention lever and remove the expansion slot cover from the slot where you want to
install the adapter.
Step 5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the adapter to any unpainted surface on the
outside of the server; then, grasp the adapter by the top edge or upper corners of the adapter and
remove it from the package.
Step 6. Align the adapter so that the keys align correctly with the connector on the I/O book board.
Step 7. Insert the adapter into the connector, aligning the edge connector on the adapter with the
connector on theI/O book board. Press the edge of the connector on the adapter
firmly
into the
connector. Make sure that the adapter snaps into the connector on the I/O book board securely.
Insert the SAS/SATA adapter into the connector until it is firmly seated.
Attention:
Make sure that the adapter is correctly seated into the connector before you turn on the
server. An incorrectly seated adapter might cause damage to the I/O book board or the adapter.
Step 8. Close the PCIe retention lever.
Step 9. Connect any cables to the adapter, if applicable.
Note:
Follow the general rule for connecting the SAS signal cables to the adapter and drive
backplane: port 0 on the adapter to port 0 on the drive backplane and port 1 on the adapter to port
1 on the drive backplane (depending on the type of drive backplanes you installed in the server).
Step 10. Reinstall the storage book.
