2.1 Installing Your Ultra320 SCSI Host Adapter
This section provides detailed instructions for installing your Ultra320
SCSI host adapter and connecting your SCSI devices to it. The following
illustrations show the LSI22320-R Dual Channel Ultra320 SCSI host
adapter. However, these illustrations apply to all host adapters. For
details on all the Ultra320 SCSI host adapters, refer to Chapter 3,
“Ultra320 SCSI Host Adapter Characteristics.”
2.1.1 Selecting a PCI Slot
Follow these steps to locate a PCI slot.
Step 1. Turn off and unplug your computer.
Warning: Be sure to disconnect the computer’s power before you
remove the cover and install the Ultra320 SCSI host adapter.
Step 2. Open your computer cabinet by removing its cover.
Step 3. Be sure to touch a grounded metal surface to discharge static
electricity before removing the host adapter from its package.
Caution: You must touch a grounded metal surface before handling
the host adapter because 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. LSI Logic recommends that you use a
static ground strap.
Step 4. Remove your Ultra320 SCSI host adapter from its packaging
and verify that it is not damaged.
