Locate the SCSI host adapter socket on the mainboard and

identify the pin 1 (beveled) corner of the socket. If you
need help finding the SCSI host adapter socket, see the
figure above.

Caution:

Make absolutely sure the SCSI host adapter chip is properly aligned in the
socket. There is only one correct way the chip will fit into this socket. This
ensures that the adapter is oriented properly.
