Installation Instructions
The following are the installation instructions for the LSI 6Gb/s HBAs.
1.
Unpack the HBA, and inspect it for damage. Unpack the HBA in a static-free environment. Remove the HBA
from the antistatic bag and carefully inspect it for damage. If you notice any damage, contact LSI or your reseller
support representative.
2.
Prepare the system. Turn off the computer, and disconnect the power cord from the rear of the power supply.
3.
Remove the cover from the chassis.
4.
Insert the HBA in an available PCIe slot. Locate an empty PCIe slot. Remove the blank bracket panel on the rear
of the computer that aligns with the empty PCIe slot. Save the bracket screw, if applicable.
Align the HBA to a PCIe slot. Press down gently, but firmly, to properly seat the HBA in the slot. The following
figure shows how to insert the HBA in a PCIe slot.
ATTENTION Make a backup of your data before changing your system configuration, or you might risk
data loss.
CAUTION Disconnect the computer from the power supply and from any networks before you install the
HBA, or you risk damaging the system or electrical shock.
