page 71. The IBM ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA enables integrated RAID levels 0,
1, and 10 capability on hot-swap drives. For configuration information, see the
ServeRAID documentation at http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/. To install
the adapter if your server model did not come with this adapter, complete the
following steps.
Attention: Some cluster solutions require specific code levels or coordinated code
updates. If the device is part of a cluster solution, verify that the latest level of
code is supported for the cluster solution before you update the code.

1. Read the safety information that begins on page "Safety" on page v and
"Installation guidelines" on page 44.
2. Turn off the server (see "Turning off the server" on page 24) and all attached
peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external
cables from the server.
3. Remove the top cover (see "Removing the server top cover" on page 46).
4. Grasp the riser-card assembly by the blue touch points and pull it up until the
riser-card assembly disengages from the connector on the system board; then,
set it aside.
5. Touch the static-protective package that contains the ServeRAID M1015
SAS/SATA 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.
6. Align the ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA adapter so that the keys align
correctly with the connector on the riser-card assembly.
7. Insert the SAS/SATA adapter into the connector on the riser-card assembly
until it is firmly seated.
Attention: Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the server or the
adapter.
8. Reinstall the riser-card assembly onto the system board.
9. Connect the power/configuration cable to the drive backplane and the system
board.
route the signal cables through the SAS cable guide and up and over the rear
of the microprocessor air baffle; then, through the loops on the scalability
connector cover and then to the adapter (see the following illustration). Use
the cable ties (as shown in the illustration) that come with the drive backplane
to secure the SAS cables so that they do not get in the way or get damaged.
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; then port 1 on the adapter to port 1 on the drive backplane, port 2
to port 2, and port 3 to port 3 (depending on the drive backplanes you
installed in the server).
