Inserting the Host Adapter
Step 1.
Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer
aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the
bracket screw.
Step 2.
Carefully insert edge connector J6 of the host adapter into the
PCI slot. Make sure the edge connector is properly aligned
before pressing the board into place. The bracket around
connectors J1 and J7 should fit where you removed the blank
panel. Refer to Figures
and
for details.
Note:
You can install a 64-bit host adapter in a 32-bit slot if no
64-bit slots are available. However, if you do this, the data
transmission rate is limited to standard PCI speed.
Note:
You may notice that the components on a PCI host adapter
face the opposite way from non-PCI adapter boards you
have in your system. This orientation is correct. The board
is keyed and can only be inserted one way.
Step 3.
Secure the board with the bracket screw before connecting
internal and external SCSI devices. Refer to
