controller card.
Step 3
Insert the LSISAS3800X 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 LSISAS3800X 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
