ATTENTION: To avoid the risk of data loss, make a backup of your data before changing your system configuration.

2.

Prepare the computer. Turn off the computer, and remove the power cord from the rear of the power supply.

CAUTION: Disconnect the computer from the power supply and from any networks to which you will install the HBA, or you risk damaging the system or experiencing electrical shock.

3.

Remove the cover from the chassis.

4.

Check the mounting bracket on the HBA (system dependent). If required for your system, replace the full-height mounting bracket that ships on the HBA with the low-profile bracket supplied. Complete step a through step d to attach the short bracket.

a.

Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver that is ESD safe, remove the two Phillips screws that connect the full-profile bracket to the board. Unscrew the two screws located at the top and bottom edges of the board. Avoid touching any other board components with the screwdriver or bracket.

ATTENTION: Perform all installation work at an electrostatic discharge

(ESD)-safe workstation that meets the requirements of

EIA-625. Requirements for

Handling Electrostatic Discharge

Sensitive Devices . You must perform all actions in accordance to the latest revision of the IPC-A-610 ESDrecommended practices.

CAUTION: Damaging the screw can void the warranty. To prevent damage to the screw, center the screwdriver in the top of the screw.

b.

Remove the full-profile bracket from the HBA. Do not damage the board.

c.

Place the HBA on top of the low-profile bracket. Position the bracket so that the screw holes in the tabs align with the openings in the board.

d.

Using a #1 Phillips torque screwdriver that is ESD safe, set to a maximum torque of

4.8 ± 0.5 inch-pounds. Replace the two Phillips screws removed in step a.

CAUTION: Exceeding these torque specifications can damage the board, connectors, or screws, and can void the warranty on the HBA.

5.

Insert the HBA in an available PCIe® slot. Locate an empty PCIe slot. Remove the blank bracket panel on the back of the computer that aligns with the empty PCIe slot. Save this bracket screw, if applicable. Align the HBA to a PCIe slot. Press down gently, but firmly, to seat the HBA correctly in the slot. The following figure shows how to insert the HBA in a PCIe slot.
