connector contacts. LSI Logic recommends using a static ground strap.

Step 5. Locate the slots for PCI plug-in board installation.

Refer to the user’s manual supplied with your computer to confirm the location of the PCI slots.

This host adapter requires a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot that allows bus master operation. If a 32-bit PCI slot is used, the portion of the J1 connector opposite the bracket remains uninserted.

Refer to Table 1.2 for details.

Note: For this host adapter to function as a 64-bit device, it must be inserted into a 64-bit PCI slot. If the host adapter is inserted into a 32-bit PCI slot, it functions as a 32-bit device.

Step 6. On the back of the computer, remove the blank bracket panel that is aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the bracket screw.
