Quick Installation Guide
LSI® SAS 9207-8e PCI Express® to 6Gb/s SAS Host Bus Adapter

53495-01A

To install the LSI® SAS 9207-8e HBA, follow these steps:

1.

Unpack the HBA, and inspect it for damage. 

Unpack the HBA in a static-free environment. 

Remove the HBA from the antistatic bag, and carefully inspect the device for damage. If you notice 
any damage, contact LSI or your reseller support representative. 

ATTENTION:

To avoid the risk of data loss, make a backup of your data before changing your 

system configuration.

2.

Prepare the computer.

 Turn off the computer, and remove the power cord from the rear of 

the power supply. 

CAUTION:

Disconnect the computer from the power supply and from any networks to which 
you will install the HBA, or you risk damaging the system or experiencing 
electrical shock.

3.

Remove the cover from the chassis.

4.

Check the mounting bracket on the HBA (system dependent).

 If required for your system, 

replace the full-height mounting bracket that ships on the HBA with the low-profile bracket 
supplied. Complete step a through step d to attach the short bracket.

a.

Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver that is ESD safe, remove the two Phillips screws that 

connect the full-profile bracket to the board. Unscrew the two screws located at the top and 
bottom edges of the board. Avoid touching any other board components with the 
screwdriver or bracket.

CAUTION:

Damaging the screw can void the warranty. To prevent damage to the screw, 
center the screwdriver in the top of the screw.

b.

Remove the full-profile bracket from the HBA. Do not damage the board.

c.

Place the HBA on top of the low-profile bracket. Position the bracket so that the screw 

holes in the tabs align with the openings in the board.

d.

Using a #1 Phillips torque screwdriver that is ESD safe, set to a maximum torque of 

4.8 ± 0.5 inch-pounds. Replace the two Phillips screws removed in step a.

CAUTION:

Exceeding these torque specifications can damage the board, connectors, or 
screws, and can void the warranty on the HBA.

5.

Insert the HBA in an available PCIe® slot.

 Locate an empty PCIe slot. Remove the blank 

bracket panel on the back of the computer that aligns with the empty PCIe slot. Save this bracket 
screw, if applicable. Align the HBA to a PCIe slot. Press down gently, but firmly, to seat the HBA 
correctly in the slot. The following figure shows how to insert the HBA in a PCIe slot.
