Chapter 2. Installing the KZPCM Host Adapter

2.5Installing the Host Adapter

Install the Host Adapter module using the following procedures. Take precautions to protect the module from static discharge.

CAUTION

To protect the board from static discharge, wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap. If a wrist strap is unavailable, ground yourself by touching a bare metal surface on the computer chassis before you open the case.

2.5.1 Inserting the Host Adapter in a Chassis Slot

Do the following steps to insert the Host Adapter module in the chassis slot:

1.Turn off the power to the computer system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the ac power cords.

2.Remove the computer cover (refer to your computer manual for instructions).

3.Locate an available PCI bus slot. PCI slots are shorter than ISA and EISA slots and are normally colored white. (Refer to your computer manual to determine the location of the PCI bus slot in your system.)

Unscrew and remove the outside slot cover. The slot cover is the metal strip that covers the opening in the rear of the computer chassis and where the external connector on the adapter fits (save the screw.)

4.Carefully remove the KZPCM Host Adapter from its protective anti-static bag and insert it into the slot. Press down on the top of the card until it seats firmly. See Figure 2–2.

NOTE

PCI cards are designed with their components on the opposite side of non-PCI cards

5.Secure the KZPCM host adapter with the screw previously used to secure the slot cover.

6.Do not install the computer cover or reconnect power until all the SCSI devices are connected.
