4. Install the RAID Controller
Insert the controller into a PCI-Express slot on the motherboard, as shown in
Figure 3. Press down gently, but firmly, to seat the card correctly in the slot. Secure
the RAID controller to the computer chassis with the bracket screw.
NOTE: This controller is a PCI-Express x8 card and it can operate in x8 or x16 slots.
However, some PCIe slots support only PCIe graphics cards; if a RAID controller is
installed, it will not function.
