Installing the Hardware

Before installing the Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP into your server or
workstation, make sure that the system is powered down. If your
system supports hot plug PCI, see PCI Hot Plug Support on page 11.
For information on installing the device drivers for your Operating
System, see the Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP Installation Guide.

Installing the Adapter in the PCI Slot

Install the Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP in any Bus Mastering PCI
slot. The following generalized installation steps pertain to most PCI
installations. Most system chassis are either vertical or horizontal
orientated; therefore, you should install your card depending on the
orientation of your system. See Figure 3 on page 7. Consult your
server or workstation manual for PCI card installation.
1
Turn power to your system.
OFF
2
Discharge any static electricity build-up before handling the
Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP by touching a grounded metal
object (such as the exposed metal parts on the back of your
computer).
3
Remove the cover from your computer.
4
Locate an empty 64-bit PCI expansion slot in your system. If
the computer does not have a 64-bit slot, you can install the
card in a 32-bit PCI slot.
5
Remove the expansion slot cover. (Save the slot cover screw.)
6
Insert the Adaptec Fibre Card 9210LP into the slot until it is
firmly and evenly seated in the PCI connector.
