2-4 Installing the LSIU40HVD
2.2.2 Inserting the Host Adapter
For safe and proper installation, check the user’s manual supplied with
your computer and perform the following steps.
Step 1. Ground yourself before removing the host adapter board.
Remove the LSIU40HVD from the packing and check that it is
not damaged. An example of this board is shown in
Figure 2.1 .
Step 2. Switch off and unplug power cords for all components in your
system.
Step 3. Remove the cabinet cover on your computer to access the PCI
slots.
Caution: Ground yourself by touching a metal surface before
removing the cabinet cover. Static charges on your body
can damage electronic components. Handle plug-in boards
by the edge; do not touch board components or gold
connector contacts. The use of a static ground strap is
recommended.
Step 4. Locate the slots for PCI plug-in board installation. Refer to the
user’s manual for your computer to confirm the location of the
PCI slots. The LSIU40HVD requires a PCI slot which allows
bus master operation.
Step 5. Remove the blank panel on the back of the computer aligned
with the PCI slot you intend to use. Save the bracket screw.
