6 Make sure the NV Memory Card is firmly 
seated by gently pushing the card down onto 
the ATTO RAID Adapter, as shown:

the back of the printed circuit board. Use the 
two supplied screws to finish secure the NV

Power Module Installation
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Note
It is the user’s preference to install the Power 
Module while the ATTO Host Adapter is 
outside of the computer, or install the Power 
Module while the Host Adapter is seated in 
it’s PCI Express slot. If you have questions 
about how to remove an expansion card 
from your system, consult your computer’s 
documentation. In these directions, we will 
assume the card is seated in its PCI Express 
slot.
1 Remove the Power Module from its 
electrostatic safe packaging.
2 Select an area for placement of the Power 
Module inside of the computer. Make sure it 
can be mounted securely and that the Power 
Module’s power cord can reach the Host 
Adapter, specifically the NV Memory Card’s 
power jack.
3 Use the heavy-duty, industrial adhesive, shown 
in Exhibit 3-3
 to mount the module. Remove 
one side of the paper backing and apply it to the 
Power Module.

4 Remove and expose the other side of the 
adhesive.
5 Mount the Power Module into the computer.
6 Plug the Power Module power cord into the 
Non-Volatile Module (on the RAID adapter). 
The plug is keyed so that it can only be plugged 
in one way. Make sure that the plug is fully 
inserted.
7 Close your computer case.
8 You may power on your system.
WARNING
Be careful handling the Power Module after it 
has been installed and powered. It may be live 
with power. If the board is mishandled while it is 
attached it may become shorted and/or damaged.
