-
Attach an antistatic wrist strap and remove the HBA from its protective
bag.
See Observing ESD and Handling Precautions.
-
Refer to the installation guide or service manual for your particular
system for instructions on how to locate an available PCIe slot in the
system.
-
Align the PCIe bus connector of the HBA to the PCIe slot.
Note -
Some PCIe slots support PCIe graphics cards only; if the HBA is
installed in one of those PCIe slots, the HBA will not function.
-
Press down gently and firmly to seat the HBA in the PCIe slot, and then
secure the bracket to the system chassis with the retention clip (see the
following figure).

The configuration of the enclosure might not be the same as shown in
