To install the LSISAS3442E-R host adapter, follow these steps:
Step 1
Unpack the host adapter and inspect it for damage.
Unpack the host adapter in a static-free environment.
Remove the host adapter from the antistatic bag and
inspect it for damage. If it appears to be damaged, or if
any component is missing, contact LSI or your reseller
support representative.
Make a backup of your data before changing your
system configuration.
Step 2
Prepare the computer.
Turn off the computer and remove the power cord from
the back of the power supply. Remove the cover from
the chassis.
Be certain to disconnect the computer from the power
supply and from any networks before installing the
controller card.
Step 3
Insert the LSISAS3442E-R in an available PCI
Express slot.
Locate an empty PCI Express slot. Remove the blank
bracket panel on the back of the computer that is aligned
with the PCI Express slot you have selected. Save the
bracket screw when present.
Align the host adapter with a PCI Express slot. Press
down gently but firmly to properly seat the host adapter
in the slot. The following figure illustrates how to insert
the host adapter in a PCI Express slot.
Step 4
Secure the bracket to the system chassis.
Install the bracket screw, when present, or engage the
system’s retention mechanism to secure the host
adapter to the system’s chassis.
Note:
The HBA shape, size, and locations of components may
vary from this illustration.
