Installing your Ultra160 SCSI Host Adapter

This section provides detailed instructions for installing your host adapter
board and connecting it to your SCSI peripherals. The following
illustrations depict the LSI21003 PCI to Dual Channel Ultra160 SCSI
Host Adapter. However, these illustrations are applicable to all boards.

2.1.1

Selecting a PCI Slot

Step 1.

Ground yourself before removing the host adapter board from
its package to discharge static electricity.

Caution:

Ground yourself by touching a grounded metal surface
before handling boards. 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 2.

Remove your Ultra160 SCSI host adapter from its packing and
verify it is not damaged.

Step 3.

Turn off and unplug your computer and peripherals.
