To install the SAS3442X host adapter, follow these steps:
Step 1 Unpack the host adapter and inspect it for damage.
Unpack the host adapter in a static-free environment.
Remove the host adapter from the antistatic bag and
inspect it for damage. If it appears to be damaged, or if
any component is missing, contact LSI Logic or your
reseller support representative.
Make a backup of your data before changing your
system configuration.
Step 2 Prepare the computer.
Turn off the computer and remove the power cord from
the back of the power supply. Remove the cover from the
chassis.
Be certain to disconnect the computer from the power
supply and from any networks before installing the
controller card.
Step 3 Insert the SAS3442X in an available PCI/PCI-X slot.
Locate an empty PCI/PCI-X slot. Remove the blank
bracket panel on the back of the computer that is aligned
with the PCI/PCI-X slot you have selected. Save the
bracket screw when present.
Align the host adapter with a PCI/PCI-X slot. Press down
gently but firmly to properly seat the host adapter in the
slot. The following figure illustrates how to insert the host
adapter in a PCI/PCI-X slot.
Note: The SAS3442X is keyed for a 3.3 V slot. The keying of
edge connector J1 prevents the card from being installed
in a 5 V slot.
Step 4 Secure the bracket to the system chassis.
Install the bracket screw, when present, or engage the
system’s retention mechanism to secure the host
adapter to the system’s chassis.
Note: The HBA shape, size, and locations of components may
vary from this illustration.
