Detailed Installation Procedure

2-3

Step 1.

Ground yourself before removing this host adapter board.

Step 2.

Remove the LSI21040 from the packing and check that it is not
damaged.

Figure 2.1

illustrates an example of this host adapter board.

Also refer to

Figure 3.1

to see a more detailed drawing of this

board.

Step 3.

Switch off the computer and unplug power cords for all
components in your system.

Step 4.

Remove the cover from your computer per the instructions in
the user’s manual for your system to access the PCI slots.

Caution:

Ground yourself by touching a metal surface before
removing the cabinet top. Static charges on your body can
damage electronic components. Handle plug-in boards by
the edge; do not touch board components or gold
connector contacts. The use of a static ground strap is
recommended.

Step 5.

Locate the slots for PCI plug-in board installation.

Refer to the user’s manual for your computer to confirm the
location of the PCI slots.

The LSI21040 requires a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot that allows
bus master operation. If a 32-bit PCI slot is used, bits [31:0] of
the J1 connector are inserted while bits [63:32] remain
uninserted. See

Figure 2.2

.

Note:

For the LSI21040 to function as a 64-bit device, it must be
inserted in a 64-bit PCI slot. If the LSI21040 is inserted in
a 32-bit PCI slot, it will function as a 32-bit device.

Step 6.

Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer
aligned with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the bracket
screw.
