If

 

the

 

AIX

 

or

 

Linux

 

operating

 

system

 

is

 

installed

 

on

 

a

 

disk

 

array,

 

the

 

RAID

 

disk

 

array

 

may

 

be

 

used

 

as

 

the

 

boot

 

source.

 

You

 

may

 

receive

 

this

 

adapter

 

preinstalled

 

in

 

a

 

hot-swap

 

carrier

 

for

 

use

 

in

 

certain

 

system

 

types.

 

This

 

carrier

 

allows

 

the

 

adapter

 

to

 

be

 

installed

 

and

 

removed

 

without

 

removing

 

the

 

top

 

cover

 

of

 

the

 

system.

 

For

 

handling

 

instructions,

 

refer

 

to

 

the

 

user’s

 

guide

 

for

 

your

 

system.

 

If

 

the

 

adapter

 

does

 

not

 

fit

 

in

 

your

 

system,

 

the

 

handle

 

may

 

need

 

to

 

be

 

removed

 

in

 

order

 

for

 

the

 

adapter

 

to

 

fit

 

properly.

 

The

 

handle

 

can

 

be

 

removed

 

by

 

referring

 

to

 

“Preparing

 

for

 

a

 

PCI

 

Slot-Length
