Replace the model 285, 52x, 55x, or 720 RAID enablement card

The following procedure describes how to replace a RAID enablement card in the following models:
  • IBM® IntelliStation® POWER™ 285
  • 52x models
  • 55x models
  • IBM OpenPower™ 720

You must have already completed the procedure Remove the model 285, 52x, 55x, or 720 RAID enablement card.

  1. Pull out on the locking knobs on the replacement RAID enablement card to ensure that they are in the unlocked position.
    Attention:
    • Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging your hardware.
    • When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical equipment.
    • If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
  2. Align the RAID enablement card with the slot in the system.
  3. Slide the RAID enablement card fully into the system.
  4. Press in on the locking knobs until you feel them lock into place, as shown in Figure 1 or Figure 2.
