Step 3. Be sure to touch a grounded metal surface to discharge static electricity before removing the host adapter board from its package.

Caution: You must touch a grounded metal surface before handling boards because 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. LSI Logic recommends that you use a static ground strap.

Step 4. Remove your Ultra320 SCSI host adapter from its packaging and verify that it is not damaged.

Figure 2.1 shows the LSI22320 host adapter. The LSI20320 and LSI21320 Ultra320 SCSI host adapters are different is design and size. Refer to Chapter 3, “Ultra320 SCSI Host Adapter Board Characteristics,“ for more details.

Step 5. Find an unused PCI-X or PCI slot.

Note: You may insert a 64-bit host adapter into a 32-bit slot if no 64-bit slots are available. However, the data transmission rate is limited to standard PCI speed.
