Power Module Installation
Note
It is the user’s preference to install the Power
Module while the ATTO adapter is outside of
the computer, or install the Power Module
while the adapter is seated in it’s PCI
Express slot. If you have questions about
how to remove an expansion card from your
system, consult your computer’s
documentation. In these directions, we will
assume the card is seated in its PCI Express
slot.
1
Remove the Power Module from its
electrostatic safe packaging.
2
Select an area for placement of the Power
Module inside of the computer. Make sure it
can be mounted securely and that the Power
Module’s power cord can reach the adapter,
specifically the NV Memory Card’s power jack.
3
Use the heavy-duty, industrial adhesive, shown
in
Exhibit 5-3
to mount the module. Remove
one side of the paper backing and apply it to the
Power Module.

Plug the Power Module power cord into the
Non-Volatile Module (on the RAID adapter).
The plug is keyed so that it can only be plugged
in one way. Make sure that the plug is fully
inserted.

Close your computer case.

You may power on your system.
WARNING
Be careful handling the Power Module after it
has been installed and powered. It may be live
with power. If the board is mishandled while it is
attached it may become shorted and/or damaged.
