with server chassis). They were not designed for use with standard 2-pin LED’s

(commonly used by desktop chassis).

3- Installing the RocketRAID Host Adapter

Note: Make sure the system is powered-off before installing the RocketRAID host

adapter.

The RocketRAID 2300 and 2302 models include both standard and low-profile

brackets. It may be necessary to attach the low-profile bracket in place of the stan-

dard bracket, depending upon the chassis design. The RocketRAID 2304 is a full-

height card, and is not designed for use with low-profile chassis.
