Installing the Adapter

Jumpers

The jumpers on the HBA are set to the default state of the laser and are set at the factory with a jumper plug on pins 2–3 of the J3 jumper.

Caution: Changing the jumper settings can result in the HBA being inoperable.

Before You Begin Installation

The HBA is self-configuring. However, some motherboards require manual configuration. See the documentation supplied with your computer, or contact your computer dealer to determine if your motherboard requires configuration.

Some motherboards have two kinds of PCI bus slots: master and slave. This HBA must be in a PCI bus master slot. (Some motherboards have PCI bus master slots that are shared with onboard devices. This HBA does not work in shared slots).

PCI connectors vary among system adapter manufacturers. This HBA is a 64-bit PCI device that can function in a 32-bit PCI slot; the slot conforms to the PCI specification (the rear edge of the PCI slot is notched).

Caution: If you try to install the adapter in a PCI slot that does not conform to the PCI specification, you may damage the device.

PCI and PCI-X slots look the same. If the PC contains both PCI and PCI-X slots, refer to the PC manufacturer’s instructions to determine the slot type.

This HBA is designed and tested to operate at PCI bus speeds of up to 133 MHz.
