To install the LSISAS3801X 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.
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.
Step 3
Insert the LSISAS3801X in an available PCI/PCI-X
slot.
Locate an empty PCI/PCI-X slot. Remove the blank
bracket panel on the back of the computer that is aligned
with the PCI/PCI-X slot you have selected. Save the
bracket screw when present.
Align the host adapter with a PCI/PCI-X 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/PCI-X slot.
Note:
The LSISAS3801X is keyed for a 3.3 V slot. The keying
of edge connector J1 prevents the card from being
installed in a 5 V 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 host adapter shape, size, and locations of
components may vary from this illustration.
Make a backup of your data before changing your
system configuration.
!
CAUTION
Be certain to disconnect the computer from the power
supply and from any networks before installing the
controller card.
