Chapter 2. Installing the KZPCM Host Adapter
EK–KZPCM–UG. B01 2–5
2.5 Installing the Host Adapter
Install the Host Adapter module using the following procedures. Take
precautions to protect the module from static discharge.
CAUTION
To protect the board from static discharge, wear
an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap. If a
wrist strap is unavailable, ground yourself by
touching a bare metal surface on the computer
chassis before you open the case.
2.5.1 Inserting the Host Adapter in a Chassis Slot
Do the following steps to insert the Host Adapter module in the chassis slot:
1. Turn off the power to the computer system and attached peripherals, and
disconnect the ac power cords.
2. Remove the computer cover (refer to your computer manual for
instructions).
3. Locate an available PCI bus slot. PCI slots are shorter than ISA and EISA
slots and are normally colored white. (Refer to your computer manual to
determine the location of the PCI bus slot in your system.)
Unscrew and remove the outside slot cover. The slot cover is the metal strip
that covers the opening in the rear of the computer chassis and where the
external connector on the adapter fits (save the screw.)
4. Carefully remove the KZPCM Host Adapter from its protective anti-static
bag and insert it into the slot. Press down on the top of the card until it seats
firmly. See Figure 2–2.
NOTE
PCI cards are designed with their components on
the opposite side of non-PCI cards
5. Secure the KZPCM host adapter with the screw previously used to secure the
slot cover.
6. Do not install the computer cover or reconnect power until all the SCSI
devices are connected.
