2.4Detailed Installation Instructions

Here are detailed installation instructions for installing the SATA 150 storage adapter.

Step 1. Unpack the SATA 150 storage adapter and inspect it for damage.

Unpack and install the storage adapter in a static-free environment. Remove it from the anti-static bag and inspect it for damage. Contact LSI Logic or your MegaRAID OEM support representative if the storage adapter appears damaged.

Step 2. Power down the system and remove the cover.

Turn off the computer and physically remove the power cord from the back of the power supply. Remove the cover from the computer chassis.

Step 3. Configure the jumpers on the SATA 150-6 or SATA 150-4 storage adapter.

Chapter 3, “SATA 150 Storage Adapter Characteristics” lists jumper definitions and locations. The SATA 150-2 does not have any jumpers.

Step 4. Insert the MegaRAID SATA 150 storage adapter in a PCI slot.

Be sure you are properly grounded, so you do not damage the adapter with static electricity. Press down gently but firmly to properly seat the storage adapter in the slot, as shown in Figure 2.1.
