Installing the A5150A Adapter

Looking at Adapter Installation

The adapter is highly susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharge during installation and routine maintenance. Do not handle circuit boards without wearing a wrist strap fastened to a good earth ground or to the system chassis.

A 32-bit slot will work; however, full performance requires a 64-bit slot. Refer to the documentation for your server to confirm the location of the PCI slots. The A5150A host bus adapter requires a PCI slot that allows bus master operation.

Remove the blank panel aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use. If the blank panel has a bracket screw, save it for reuse during the installation.

Before proceeding to the next step, ground yourself to prevent the possibility of electrostatic discharge damaging the board.

Remove the A5150A Dual Channel PCI to Ultra2 SCSI host bus adapter from its packing and check that it is not damaged.

Carefully insert the edge connector J1 (see Figure 1-1 on page 9) of the host bus adapter into the PCI slot. Make sure the edge connector is properly engaged before pressing the board into place.

You may notice that the components on a PCI host adapter face the opposite way from those on other non-PCI adapter boards you have in your system. This is correct, and the board is keyed to go in only one way.

Step 7. The card’s bracket (with connectors J2 and J3) should fit where the blank panel was removed. Secure the bracket with the bracket screw from the blank panel, if there is one.

NOTE For N-Class systems, a screw is not used to secure the card.
