To install the LSI
®
12Gb/s SAS HBA, follow these steps:
1. Unpack the HBA, and inspect it for damage. Unpack the HBA in a static-free environment.
Remove the HBA from the antistatic bag, and carefully inspect the device for damage. If you notice any
damage, contact LSI or your reseller support representative.
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 disconnect 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).
5. Insert the HBA into an available PCIe
®
slot. Locate an empty x8 PCIe slot. Remove the blank
bracket panel on the rear 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 into a PCIe slot.
NOTE: The shape, size, and locations of the components on your HBA and its bracket might vary from
this illustration. The HBA requires a x8 PCIe slot.

6. Secure the HBA bracket to the system’s chassis. Install the bracket screw, if applicable, or engage
the system retention mechanism to secure the HBA to the system’s chassis.
7. Replace the cover of the chassis.
8. Connect SAS cables between the HBA and the SAS enclosure that contains SATA or SAS
devices. The LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA has four SFF-8644, external x4 mini-SAS HD connectors. Use a cable
with an external mini-SAS HD connector (SFF-8644) on one end (to connect to the HBA) and the
appropriate connector to attach to the enclosure that contains SAS or SATA devices on the other end.
