6.2Installation Steps

The MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 provides extensive customization options. If you need only basic MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 features and your computer does not use other adapter cards with resource settings that may conflict with MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 settings, even custom installation can be quick and easy.

Table 6.1 lists the hardware installation steps. Each step is described in detail in the following pages.
