Warning!
PC users do NOT insert the 9750 controller card into
a PCI-X slot. Doing so could potentially damage the board or
the system, and void the warranty.
Note:
PC users some low-cost motherboards have a single PCI
Express slot which is reserved for a video card. These slots
cannot accommodate a 3ware 9750 SATA+SAS controller card
or other PCI-E device.
If there is an extra open PCI Express x8 or x16 slot in your
computer, install the controller card next to it to provide
additional ventilation for the controller.
Cable routing may be easier if you install the 3ware RAID
controller card next to an open slot.
Things to Watch Out For During Installation of the RAID
Controller
Be careful when installing the 3ware SATA+SAS controller card
into your system. Excessive force can damage the board or your
system.
Be sure to follow the installation instructions in “Chapter 2.
Installing the 9750 SATA+SAS Controller Card” on page 14.
