Installing, Connecting, and Testing the Host Adapter

Caution –

Do not disconnect the power cord from the system or from the wall

outlet. This connection provides the ground path necessary to safely remove and
install the printed circuit boards and components without damaging them.

8. Choose a PCI-X (or PCI) slot for installing the host adapter.

To maximize performance, use the host system’s 64-bit, 66/133-MHz PCI/PCI-X slot
slot for installing the host adapter.

Note –

You can insert the host adapter into a 32-bit PCI slot if no 64-bit PCI-X slots

are available. However, if you do this, the data transmission rate is limited to
standard PCI speed.
