Warning

Before installing the SuperTrak EX Controller card into an existing system, backup any important or useful data. Failure to follow this accepted PC practice could result in data loss.

Important

Promise does not recommend multi-lane and fanout cables longer than 1m (38 inches) because they have not been tested with the SuperTrak controller.

Important

If your SuperTrak EX16650 card has a battery backup unit (BBU), follow these requirements to be sure the battery charges properly:

•Ambient operating temperature must not exceed 104°F (40°C)

•Airflow through your PC or server must be at least 200 LFM

Note

The SuperTrak EX Controller cards are PCI Plug-n-Play (PnP) devices. No changes are necessary in the motherboard CMOS or BIOS Setup for resources or drive types in most applications.
