2.2.3 Inserting the Host Adapter

Perform the following steps to install the LSI20160 in your PC mainboard.

Step 1. Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use.

Save the bracket screw.

Step 2. Carefully insert the edge connector J1 of the host adapter into the PCI slot.

Make sure the edge connector is properly aligned before pressing the board into place. The bracket around connector J2 should fit where the blank bracket panel was removed. Refer to Figures 2.1 and 2.2.

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