If
the system in which you are installing the universal HBA is running
the Oracle Solaris OS, install the SRU or two driver patches for
your platform, as listed in Driver Software for the Oracle Solaris OS.
Refer to your system installation
or service manual to determine an appropriate PCI ExpressModule
slot in which to install the universal host bus adapter.
Refer to your system documentation
to shut down, power off, and unplug the system, if required.
Press the plastic tab down to release the ExpressModule latch (See the following figure.) and
pull the lever out until it is nearly perpendicular to the ExpressModule
front panel.
Insert the universal HBA into
an empty PCI ExpressModule slot.
Be careful that the tooth on the bottom of the lever does
not come in contact with the chassis sheet metal during insertion.
When the universal HBA is inserted
nearly all the way into the slot, push the lever back into its fully
closed position, allowing the lever tooth to insert the adapter
fully into place.
The universal HBA is now installed and ready for the optical
or copper cables to be connected (see Connecting the Cables).
