General notes:
When using more than one hard drive with the SATA RAID
Controller, always ensure they are the same type and
design. This prevents compatibility problems that can occur
if different types of hard drives are used.
Installing the hardware:
You must open your computer to install the card. It is impor-
tant to ensure that you have unplugged your computer from
the power supply. If you are not familiar with the internal
setup of your computer, please consult your computer’s
manual or ask an expert.
Note:
Be aware that static electricity can damage both
the card and your computer. Statically discharge yourself
before installing the card by touching a metal object.
1. Switch off your computer and all connected devices.
2. Unplug your PC before beginning installation.
3. Open the case of the computer.
4. Locate a free PCI slot.
5. Remove the cover plate for this slot. Keep the screw
– you will need it later to secure the card.
6. Hold the card by the edge of the board and insert it into
the free PCI slot. Carefully press the card into the slot
until the holding bracket is lined up with the casing and
the gold-plated contacts have disappeared into the slot.
7. Secure the card using the slot cover plate screw you
removed
earlier.
8. Close the case of your computer and plug it in to the
power supply again.
9. Restart your computer.
