If a chip set is embedded into your motherboard, plug the cable into the port on the motherboard instead of the controller. If you are purchasing an add-on controller card, you will need to install the controller in one of the empty slots in your computer. Remove the screw holding the metal plate in place and insert the controller into the appropriate PCI, EISA or ISA slot on the motherboard, making sure the metal plate from the controller fits into the grooves on the computer frame. Replace the screw and connect the SCSI cables to the controller and then the hard drive. If you have any questions, refer to the installation manual enclosed with your controller.
