Integrated Storage Controller Card
NOTE:
This section applies to systems with hot-swappable hard drives.
Your system includes a dedicated expansion-card slot on the riser for an
integrated SAS or RAID controller card that provides the integrated storage
subsystem for your system’s hard drives. The controller supports SAS and
SATA hard drives and also enables you to set up the hard drives in RAID
configurations as supported by the version of the storage controller included
with your system.
Removing the Storage Controller Card
CAUTION:
Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came
with the product.
1 Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect
the system from the electrical outlet.
2 Open the system. See "Opening the System" on page 87.
3 If installed, remove the expansion card. See "Removing an Expansion
Card" on page 126.
4 Disconnect the SAS cables connected to the card.
5 Disconnect the cable connecting the card to the expansion-card riser.
6 For a battery-cached RAID controller, disconnect the cable connecting the
card to the RAID battery.
7 Bend both the card-edge guides outward and pull the storage controller
card out of the connector.
