Step 1.
Power down the machine. If necessary, consult the computer
system installation manual for the correct cover removal procedures.
Step 2.
Install host adapter board. For each board to be installed,
locate an available slot. Push the board firmly into the slot, making
sure it is fully inserted.
PCI bus. Set both IRQ and I/O addresss
to "Auto". This allows the driver to autodetect the board the
system is booted, allowing for dynamic allocation of resources by
the PCI BIOS. In some early PCI machines, the BIOS may be non-compliant,
and may not assign system resources such as IRQ and I/O addresses.
In these cases, it may be necessary to specify the actual IRQ and
I/O addresses in the driver instead of 'auto'.
Step 3.
Retaining screw. Securely tighten the retaining screw.
Step 4.
Module assembly. If attaching modules, assemble according to
the instructions given in the EasyConnection
Hardware Installation Reference.
Step 5.
Connect module to host adapter. Carefully connect the module
assembly to the host adapter using the supplied cable.
Note:
When installing ISA boards in an EISA machine we recommend
that you configure the ISA boards using the system's EISA Configuration
Utility. Hardware conflicts can then be detected and resolved easily.
Step 6.
Power up the machine.
