Installing the SunSwift PCI Adapter

This chapter contains procedures for installing the adapter in your system.
Note – Refer to your system installation or service manual (and the SCSI device
installation manual, as necessary) for detailed instructions for the following tasks.

To Install the Adapter

1. Power off your system and open the system unit.
2. Attach the wrist strap's adhesive copper strip to the metal casing of the power
supply. Wrap the other end twice around your wrist, with the adhesive side
against your skin.
3. Holding the PCI card by the edges, unpack and place it on an antistatic surface.
4. Identify the slot number in which you want to insert the SunSwift PCI adapter.
5. Remove the PCI filler panel from the slot that you selected.
6. Holding the PCI card by the edges, align the card edge connector with the PCI
slot. Slide the card face plate into the small slot at the end of the PCI opening.
7. Applying even pressure at both corners of the card, push the PCI card until it is
firmly seated in the slot.
Caution – Do not use excessive force when installing the adapter into the PCI slot.
You may damage the adapter's PCI connector. If the adapter does not seat properly
when you apply even pressure, remove the adapter and carefully reinstall it again.
8. If necessary, reinstall the PCI filler panel in the unused PCI opening.
9. Detach the wrist strap and close the system unit.
Note – See the next chapter to complete the software configuration and additional
setup procedures.
