Hardware Installation for the QHT7140 Without an HTX Riser
Installing the QLogic QHT7140 without an HTX riser card requires a 3U or larger
chassis. The card slot connectors on the QHT7140 fit into the HTX slot in a
vertical installation.
To install the QLogic adapter without the HTX riser card:
1. The BIOS should already be configured properly by the motherboard
manufacturer. However, if any additional BIOS configuration is required, it
will usually need to be done before installing the QLogic adapter. See
“Configuring the BIOS” on page 4-4.
2. Shut down the power supply to the system into which you will install the
QLogic adapter.
3. Take precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the
cards by properly grounding yourself or touching the metal chassis to
discharge static electricity before handling the cards.
4. If you are installing the QLogic adapter into a covered system, remove the
cover screws and cover plate to expose the system’s motherboard. For
specific instructions on how to do this, follow the hardware documentation
that came with your system.
5. Locate the HTX slot on your motherboard (see Figure 4-7).
6. Remove the QLogic adapter from the anti-static bag. Hold the card by the
top horizontal section of the bracket, and the top rear corner of the card. Be
careful not to touch any of the components on the printed circuit card.
7. Without fully inserting, gently align and rest the HTX card’s gold fingers on
top of the motherboard’s HTX slot.
