For safe and proper installation, check the user's manual supplied with
your computer to perform the following steps.
Step 1. Ground yourself before removing this host adapter board.
Remove the LSIU40SE from the packing and check that it is not
damaged. An example of this host adapter board is shown in
Figure 2.1.
Step 2. Switch off and unplug power cords for all components in your
system.
Step 3. Remove the cabinet cover on your computer to access the PCI
slots.
Caution: Ground yourself by touching a metal surface before
removing the cabinet cover. Static charges on your body
can damage electronic components. Handle plug-in boards
by the edge; do not touch board components or gold
connector contacts. The use of a static ground strap is
recommended.
Step 4. Locate the slots for PCI plug-in board installation.
Refer to the user's manual for your computer to confirm the
location of the PCI slots. The LSIU40SE requires a PCI slot that
allows bus master operation.
Step 5. Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer
aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the bracket
screw.
