MegaRAID Controller Installation
Caution: Make a backup of your data before you change your system
configuration. Otherwise you may lose data.
Follow these steps to install the MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 Controller. Each step
is explained more fully in the following text:
Step 1: Unpack MegaRAID Controller
Unpack and install the MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 Controller in a static-free
environment. Remove the MegaRAID controller from the anti-static bag and
inspect it for damage. If it appears to be damaged, or if the Driver and
Documentation CD is missing, contact LSI Logic or your MegaRAID OEM
support representative.
Step 2: Prepare Computer
Turn off the computer and remove the power cord from the back of the power
supply. Remove the cover from the chassis. Make sure the computer is
disconnected from the power and from any networks before installing the
controller card.
Step 3: Check MegaRAID Controller Jumpers
Make sure the jumper settings on the MegaRAID controller are correct. The
jumpers are set at the factory, and you probably do not need to change them.
The following table lists the MegaRAID controller jumpers that you should
check:
The following diagram shows the location of these jumpers and of the various
connectors on the MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 Controller.
