4.3 Installing the Rocket 750 Host Adapter
Note: Make sure the system is powered-off before installing the Rocket host adapter.
1. Open the system chassis and locate an unused PCIe 2.0/1.0 (x8, x16) slot (or 3.0, x16).
2. Remove the PCI-E slot cover.
3. Gently insert the Rocket 750 HBA into the PCI-E slot, and secure the bracket to the system chassis.
4. After installing the adapter, attach the hard disks or backplane enclosure to the host adapter using the
appropriate cables.
Note: Many server-level chassis include hard-drive hot-swap bays. For these system chassis, cables
are attached to the chassis backplane, rather than directly to each individual hard drive. Consult the
chassis manual for proper installation procedures.
5. Close and secure the system chassis.
