Detach the Ultra2/LVD SCSI interface cable from the SCSI host adapter connector labeled "SCSI1" on the system board, and the connector labeled "SCSI" on the SCSI backplane board (see Figure 10-1). 4. Install the host adapter card in an available Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) expansion slot. See "Installing an Expansion Card" in Chapter 8. If you are installing a SCSI host adapter card, consider the boot order of the system devices when selecting a PCI slot for the adapter.
