Board Installation - Adaptec AHA-2740 User Manual

Board Installation

To install the host adapter in your EISA system, the chassis
cover must be removed and the motherboard exposed. Always
refer to your EISA system documentation for instructions on
removing the chassis cover and adding option boards, such as the
AHA-2740 Series of host adapters.
Turn OFF and disconnect power to the system and external
equipment before removing the chassis cover or attempting any
motherboard modifications.
To install the AHA-2740 Series of host adapters in your EISA
computer system:
1 Remove the cover of your EISA computer system to expose
the EISA bus slots on the motherboard.
2 Locate an unused EISA slot in your system which supports
bus master operations (refer to the host computer system doc-
umentation for details) and remove the corresponding slot
cover.
3
Carefully remove the host adapter from the antistatic bag.
Place the host adapter on top of the bag if you need to set it
down.
4 Align and insert the host adapter in the EISA slot. Secure the
host adapter in your system.
EISA boards require firmer seating than typical ISA expansion
boards. Make sure the host adapter is fully seated in its slot.
