the negative lead, usually a black wire, is attached to pin 2.
3
Connect any internal drive cables now.
4

Determining the Booting Controller
The Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S/2200S are shipped configured to be
a bootable controller. The default setting of the controller and
system BIOS Setup usually will allow you to install and boot from
either a hard disk drive connected to the motherboard, or from a
drive or array connected to the controller.
If you already have an operating system installed on a hard disk
drive connected to the motherboard and you want to boot a second
operating system from the Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S/2200S will
you have to modify the system’s BIOS settings.
In this case, enter the system BIOS Setup and look for the hard disk
boot sequence. Move the Adaptec SCSI RAID 2120S/2200S to the
top of the list.
