Installing Your Adapter

This chapter describes how to install and configure your Adaptec adapter in your computer.

Before You Begin

Determine the model of your Adaptec (PCI) adapter by looking at the model name on the adapter. After turning OFF your PC's power supply and removing the power cable, remove the cover from your PC. Find an empty PCI slot.

Note: PCI slots and adapters come in two varieties, 3.3 volt and the more common 5 volt. All Adaptec PCI adapters support 5-volt slots. Some models also support 3.3-volt slots.

Installing the Adapter

WARNING: Before you unpack your adapter or install it in your computer, make sure you are grounded to avoid damaging any highly static-sensitive components on the adapter or your computer. To reduce your static electricity, touch your computer’s metal chassis and then maintain grounding by wearing a wrist strap attached to the chassis or other ground.
