Installing a Serial ATA RAID Controller with Multi-lane Internal Connectors To install the controller in the computer 1 If the computer is running, shut it down. Turn off power to the computer and disconnect the power cord from the outlet. 2 Open the computer case according to the manufacturer's instructions. 3 Find the PCI slot you want to use for the serial RAID controller. 4 Remove the metal filler bracket for the slot. Save this screw; it will be used to secure the 3ware RAID Controller after you have seated it in the slot. 5 Position the card in the slot so that the contacts will mate with the grooves in the slot and all pins make proper contact with the PCI slot pins when pushed into place. The 3ware controller is keyed to ensure proper installation into a full-sized PCI slot. Make sure that the contacts will mate with the grooves in the slot. 6 Press down gently on the edge of the 3ware RAID controller directly above the slot until it is fully seated. 7 Check that the 3ware RAID controller's metal bracket covers the hole in the case and secure the bracket with the screw that was used to secure the filler bracket in step 4. To install the drives 1 If your drives are not already installed, install them now, either by attaching them to the backplane, or by installing them in the computer chassis. 2 Be sure that the power supply is connected to either the backplane or the individual drives. www.3ware.com 21
