1.1 Installation
Step 1.
Before you begin the installation, switch off the power to the
computer and any peripheral devices and disconnect all power
cords.
Caution:
Before handling the SYM20810 board, ground yourself
using a ground strap attached to the computer metal frame.
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.
Step 2.
Remove the cover on your computer to access the PCI slots.
Refer to your computer documentation if necessary.
Step 3.
Locate an unused expansion slot for installing the PCI to SCSI
host adapter. Refer to your computer documentation if
necessary to locate the expansion slots.
Step 4.
Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer
that covers the slot you intend to use. Save the bracket screw.
Step 5.
Remove the SYM20810 host adapter board from the antistatic
bag and insert the edge connector into the PCI slot, as pictured
in Figure 1.2. Make sure the edge connector is properly aligned
before pressing the board into place. Apply even pressure to
both ends of the board while inserting it.
