4 Installing the Host Adapter Inserting the Host Adapter in a PCI Slot WARNING: Turn OFF and disconnect the power to your computer and attached devices before you remove the chassis cover. 1 Remove the cover from the computer case. 2 Locate an unused PCI expansion slot that sup- ports bus mastering. Make sure this slot is not obstructed by other system hardware. PCI bus slots are usually white or ivory and are shorter than ISA or EISA slots. Usually there are three PCI slots. One of these may be a shared slot. That is, it may have an ISA or EISA connector and a PCI connector, but only one kind of board can be inserted in the slot at any one time. 3 Remove the corresponding expansion slot cover from the computer chassis and save the screw. 4 Hold the host adapter directly over the bus master PCI slot and insert the end of the board in the card guide. Carefully press the bus connector on the bottom of the host adapter down into the slot. 5 Attach the host adapter bracket to the computer chassis with the screw from the expansion slot cover that you removed. Note: Do not replace the chassis cover or reconnect the power yet! 4 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPCAAAAAAaruHiAAArrntAAAArtAAAeN-SAAAn3uAAApt9mAAAeD4AAAcbAAA0aeAAANtUerAAAu::/AAA3mAAA519AAA11b4AAA1/eAAA010rAAAU4:4AAA/04WAAA9-AAA960AAA/43AAA059AAA,6AAA4R8AAA0e-AAAU0vAAA0AAA.WAAABAAADEAAAAAACIAAAnNAAAsAAAtDAAAaAAAlalAAAtaAAAetAAA:i1oAAAAAA1nAAA/G1AAAAAA8uAAA/i9AAAdAAA6eAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
