Installing the Host Adapter
You must do the following to successfully install the host adapter:
1. Install the host adapter board in your computer; the board connector is held in place with
the screw you removed from the blank panel. Ensure that the board end plate metal tab
aligns in the computer chassis opening properly; otherwise the adapter will not seat
properly.
2. Replace your host computer covers; refer to your host computer manual for additional in-
formation, if necessary.
The adapter is now physically installed. To complete the installation of the adapter, you need
to connect it to the subsystem, and load the appropriate Adaptec adapter driver software.
Some computer systems may also require you to run configuration utilities.
