Step	Action
8	Set SCSI termination.
9	Replace the computer cover and turn the power on.
10	Run the MegaRAID BIOS Configuration Utility.
11	Install the operating system driver.

Step 1: Unpack MegaRAID Controller

Unpack and install the MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 Controller in a static-free environment. Remove the MegaRAID controller from the anti-static bag and inspect it for damage. If it appears to be damaged, or if the Driver and Documentation CD is missing, contact LSI Logic or your MegaRAID OEM support representative.

Step 2: Prepare Computer

Turn off the computer and remove the power cord from the back of the power supply. Remove the cover from the chassis. Make sure the computer is disconnected from the power and from any networks before installing the controller card.

Step 3: Check MegaRAID Controller Jumpers

Make sure the jumper settings on the MegaRAID controller are correct. The jumpers are set at the factory, and you probably do not need to change them. The following table lists the MegaRAID controller jumpers that you should check:

Jumper	Description	Type
J2	SCSI activity indicator: this can be connected to the	4-pin header
	hard disk LED on the computer enclosure to display
	SCSI bus activity.
J3	Write Pending indicator: this can be connected to	2-pin header
	an LED on the computer enclosure. The LED will be
	lit when data in the cache has not yet been written
	to the storage device.
J4, J5	SCSI Termination Control for SCSI Channels 1 (J5)	3-pin headers
	and 0 (J4): Leave at the default setting (jumper on
	pins 1 and 2) to allow the MegaRAID controller to
	automatically set its own SCSI termination.
J10	Battery pack connector: this connector is used to	3-pin header
	connect the backup battery pack.
J16	Enables or disables the MegaRAID onboard BIOS.	2-pin header
	Leave the BIOS enabled (no jumper).
J17,	TermPWR Enable for SCSI Channels 0 (J17) and 1	2-pin headers
J18	(J18): Leave at the default setting (jumper on pins 1
	and 2) to allow the PCI bus to provide termination
	power on the two SCSI channels.

The following diagram shows the location of these jumpers and of the various connectors on the MegaRAID SCSI 320-2 Controller.
