2 Installing the RAID Controller
1. Unpack the RAID controller.
Unpack the RAID controller in a static-free environment. Remove it from the antistatic bag, and inspect it for
damage. If the RAID controller appears to be damaged, or if the MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD is missing,
contact LSI or your MegaRAID OEM support representative.
The CD contains utility programs, device drivers for various operating systems, and the following documentation:

2. Prepare the computer.
Turn off the computer, and unplug the power cords from the rear of the power supply. Remove the cover from
the computer.
3. Review the jumpers and the connectors.
The following figure shows the location of the jumpers and the connectors on the RAID controller. The jumpers
are set at the factory, and you usually do not need to change them.
