Installing the Controller

To install the controller in the system cabinet:
1 If you have a low-profile computer cabinet, replace the original
full-height bracket with the low-profile bracket supplied in the
controller kit.
2 Turn off your computer, unplug the power cord, and open the
system cabinet.
3 Remove the cover from an available PCI or PCI-X slot that is 2.2
or higher compliant.
Note: You'll get better performance if you use a 64-bit slot.
