Installing a Serial ATA RAID Controller

Save this screw; it will be used to secure the serial 3ware RAID controller after you have seated it in the slot.

6Position the card in the slot so that the contacts will mate with the grooves in the slot, and all pins make proper contact with the PCI slot pins when pushed into place.

The 3ware RAID controller is keyed to ensure proper installation into a full-sized 3.3-volt PCI or PCI-X slot.

Make sure that the contacts will mate with the grooves in the slot.

7Press down gently on the edge of the 3ware RAID controller directly above the slot until it is fully seated.
