Caution:

You must touch a grounded metal surface before handling
the host adapter because static charges on your body can
damage electronic components. Handle plug-in boards by
the edge; do not touch board components or gold connec-
tor contacts. LSI Logic recommends that you use a static
ground strap.

Step 4.

Remove your Ultra320 SCSI host adapter from its packaging
and verify that it is not damaged.

Figure 2.1

shows the LSI22320 host adapter. The LSI20320 and

LSI21320 Ultra320 SCSI host adapters are different in design and size.
Refer to

Step 5.

Find an unused PCI-X or PCI slot.

Note:

You can insert a 64-bit host adapter into a 32-bit slot if no
64-bit slots are available. However, if you do this, the data
transmission rate is limited to standard PCI speed.
