Controller Installation

4. Install the RAID Controller.

Insert the controller into a PCI Express slot on the motherboard, as shown in

the RAID controller to the computer chassis with the bracket screw.

NOTE: This is a PCI Express x8 card and it can operate in x8 or x16 slots. However,
some PCIe slots support only PCIe graphics cards; if a RAID controller is installed, it will
not function.

NOTE: Refer to the guide for your motherboard for information about the PCI
Express slot.
