LSI 20160 2.2.2 Selecting a PCI Slot

2.2.2 Selecting a PCI Slot

For safe and proper installation, check the user’s manual supplied with your computer and perform the following steps.

Step 1. Ground yourself before removing the host adapter board from its package.

Step 2. Remove the LSI20160 from its packing and verify it is not damaged.

Figure 2.1 shows an example of this host adapter board.

Step 3. Switch off and unplug the system.

Step 4. Remove the cabinet cover on your computer to access the PCI slots.

Caution: Ground yourself by touching a metal surface before handling boards. Static charges on your body can damage electronic components. Handle plug-in boards by the edge; do not touch board components or gold connector contacts. The use of a static ground strap is recommended.

Step 5. Locate the PCI slots on your computer.

Refer to the user’s manual supplied with your computer to conﬁrm the location of the PCI slots. Also, the LSI20160 requires a PCI slot that allows bus master operation and provides 3.3 Volts. Figure 2.2 is a representative drawing of a computer mainboard.
