Step 1 Unpack the MegaRAID SATA 150-4 RAID
Controller
Unpack the controller in a static-free environment.
Remove it from the antistatic bag and inspect it
for damage.
If the controller appears to be damaged, or if the
MegaRAID Universal Software Suite CD is
missing, contact LSI Logic or your MegaRAID
OEM support representative.
The CD contains utility programs, device drivers
for various operating systems, and the following
documentation:
• MegaRAID SATA150 PCI to Serial ATA
Storage Adapters User’s Guide

Guide
• MegaRAID Device Driver Installation User’s
Guide

registration card
Step 2 Prepare the Computer
Turn off the computer and unplug the power
cord(s) from the back of the power supply.
Remove the cover from the chassis.
Step 3 Review the Jumpers and Connectors
Figure 1 shows the location of the jumpers and
the connectors on the MegaRAID SATA 150-4
RAID Controller. The jumpers are set at the
factory, and you usually do not need to change
them.
The Write Pending connector (J4) provides a
signal that indicates when the on-board cache
contains data, and a write from the cache to the
hard drives is pending.
