Insert the HBA into an available PCIe slot. Locate an empty x8 PCIe slot. Remove the blank bracket panel on the
rear of the computer that aligns with the empty PCIe slot. Save this bracket screw, if applicable. Align the HBA to a
PCIe slot. Press down gently, but firmly, to seat the HBA correctly in the slot. The following figure shows how to
insert the HBA into a PCIe slot.
NOTE
The shape, size, and locations of the components on your HBA and its
bracket might vary from this illustration. The HBA requires a x8
PCIe slot.

connector on one end (to connect to the HBA) and the appropriate connector on the other end to attach to
backplane or SAS/SATA devices.
