2.3 Installation
Use the following instructions below to install a PCIe host adapter.
Step 1. Unpack the Host Adapters
Unpack and remove the PCIe host adapters from the package.
Inspect it carefully, if anything is missing or damaged, contact your
local dealer.
Step 2. Power PC/Server Off
Turn off computer and remove the AC power cord. Remove the sys-
tem’s cover. For the instructions, please see the computer system
documentation.
Step 3. Install the 12Gb/s SAS Host adapters
To install the 12Gb/s SAS Host adapter, remove the mounting
screw and existing bracket from the rear panel behind the selected
PCIe 3.0 slot. Align the gold-fingered edge on the card with the
selected PCIe 3.0 slot. Press down gently but firmly to ensure that
the card is properly seated in the slot, as shown in Figure 2-4.
Then, screw the bracket into the computer chassis. ARC-1330
series controllers require a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot for better performance.

High voltages may be found inside computer equipment. Be-
fore installing any of the hardware in this package or remov-
ing the protective covers of any computer equipment, turn
off power switches and disconnect power cords. Do not re-
connect the power cords until you have replaced the covers.
• Handle the host adapters by its edges or by the metal mounting
brackets at its each end.
• Before you handle the host adapters in any way, touch a
grounded, anti-static surface, such as an unpainted portion of
the system chassis, for a few seconds to discharge any built-up
static electricity.
