Installing the Controller

To install the controller in the system cabinet:

1 Shut down your computer and disconnect the power cord.

2 Open the computer cabinet and identify an unused PCI slot.

3 If your computer accepts low-profile brackets only, install the

low-profile bracket supplied with your kit in place of the

standard full-height bracket.

4 Identify an unused PCI slot and remove the slot cover, as

illustrated below.

5 Install the controller in the PCI slot and secure the controller

bracket to the host system cabinet.

6 If you have not already installed your Serial ATA hard drives,

do so now.

7 Use the cables supplied with your kit to connect your controller

to the Serial ATA hard drives.

The cable connectors are all identical, so it does not matter which

end you connect to your controller or hard drive. Also, the

connectors are keyed to fit the connector in only one direction.

Do not try to force a cable connector onto the controller or a

drive. If the connector does not slide on easily, try reversing it.

8 Close the computer cabinet and re-attach the power cord.
