RAID card replacement

RAID cards are in the upper and lower trays that are accessed from the front of the server. Procedures for removing and installing RAID cards in the upper and lower trays are different.

  • Remove a RAID card (upper tray)
    The upper RAID card is in the upper compute tray or optional storage tray that is accessed from the front of the server. After removing the upper tray and fan cage, disconnect the RAID card from the storage interposer; then, disconnect the three cables from the RAID card and remove it from the tray.
  • Remove a RAID card (lower tray)
    The lower RAID card is in the lower compute tray that is accessed from the front of the server. After removing the lower compute tray and fan cage, disconnect the RAID card from the storage interposer; then, disconnect the three cables from the RAID card and remove it from the compute tray.
  • Install a RAID card (upper tray)
    The upper RAID card is in the upper compute tray or optional storage tray that is accessed from the front of the server. Connect the three cables to the RAID card; then, connect the RAID card to the storage interposer in the upper tray.
  • Install a RAID card (lower tray)
    The lower RAID card is in the lower compute tray that is accessed from the front of the server. Connect the three cables to the RAID card; then, connect the RAID card to the storage interposer in the lower compute tray.
