  Removing the SAS/SATA controller

To remove the SAS/SATA controller:

  1. Turn off the HMC and peripheral devices and disconnect all power cords.
  2. Unlock and remove the side cover. (Refer to Removing and Replacing the Cover.)
  3. Squeeze the tabs on both sides of the connector on the signal cable and remove the cable from the SAS/SATA controller.
  4. Carefully disengage the tabs on each side of the SAS/SATA controller connector and the front of the SAS/SATA controller from the plastic standoff.
  5. Grasp the edges of the SAS/SATA controller and pull it out of the connector. If the standoff comes away from the system board with the controller, gently pull it out of the controller and push it back into the hole on the system board.
  6. If you are instructed to return the SAS/SATA controller, follow all packaging instructions, and use any packaging materials supplied to you for shipping.
