As shown at right, insert the RAID controller into the
3
expansion slot and press down gently but firmly until it clicks
into place. When installed properly, the RAID controller
should appear level with the expansion slot.
Secure the bracket in the expansion slot, using the retention
4
device (for instance, a screw or lever) supplied with your
computer.
Attach the supercapacitor module to the RAID
5
controller by inserting the connector into the socket on
the flash module daughterboard, as shown at right. The
connector attaches to the socket in only one direction.
Choose a location on the chassis or in the system to fix
6
the tethered supercapacitor module using the included
cable-ties such that (i) the cable (18.5") reaches the
mating location on the RAID controller when the
controller is installed in the expansion slot; (ii) wiring is
routed and secured so that it does not contact any
moving parts (fans, for instance); and (iii) the
supercapacitor module is protected from heat.
Thread the cable-ties through the slots on the
7
supercapacitor module and fix to the selected
location on the computer chassis. The cable-ties
should completely encircle the supercapacitor
module to ensure that it is held in place
securely, as shown in the figure at right. Be
careful not to restrict air-flow through your
system.
Connect your computer's disk activity LED cable to the LED connector on the controller

(marked on the figures in
Ensure that the positive lead of the LED cable (usually a red wire or a wire marked with a
red stripe) is attached to pin 1.
