How to Remove a RAID Controller from A HPE Server
Removing equipment correctly is just as important as the installation process, as you don't want to damage the server or any individual components.  Your RAID controller can be a delicate piece of equipment and so removing it effectively and safely is essential for the health of your server as a whole.
 
In this video we remove the RAID controller from an HPE DL380 G9, however, this process can be followed for most HPE servers.
 

 How to remove a RAID controller:

  • Power down the server before starting to ensure that you and your equipment are protected.
  • Loosen the screws of the PCI riser and lift out. Put to one side.
  • Remove the cables that are plugged into the ports of the RAID controller.
  • Loosen the screws on the RAID card and use the flap to lift the card from the server.
  • Replace the PCI rise by sliding it in place and pushing it down.
  • Secure in place with a screwdriver, tightening the PCI riser in place through the screws.
