7 Hardware Detailed Installation Instructions
To install the LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA, follow these steps:
1. Unpack the HBA, and inspect it for damage. Unpack the HBA in a static-free environment. Remove the HBA
from the antistatic bag, and carefully inspect the device for damage. If you notice any damage, contact LSI or your
reseller support representative.
AT TE N TI O N To avoid the risk of data loss, make a backup of your data before
changing your system configuration.
2. Prepare the computer. Turn off the computer, and disconnect the power cord from the rear of the power supply.
CAUTION Disconnect the computer from the power supply and from any
networks to which you will install the HBA, or you risk damaging the
system or experiencing electrical shock.
3. Remove the cover from the chassis.
4. Check the mounting bracket on the HBA (system-dependent). If required for your system, replace the
full-height mounting bracket that ships on the HBA with the low-profile bracket supplied.
5. Insert the HBA into an available PCIe slot. Locate an empty x8 PCIe slot. Remove the blank bracket panel on the
rear of the computer that aligns with the empty PCIe slot. Save this bracket screw, if applicable. Align the HBA to a
PCIe slot. Press down gently, but firmly, to seat the HBA correctly in the slot. The following figure shows how to
insert the HBA into a PCIe slot.
NOTE The shape, size, and locations of the components on your HBA and its
bracket might vary from this illustration. The HBA requires a x8
PCIe slot.

6. Secure the HBA bracket to the system’s chassis. Install the bracket screw, if applicable, or engage the system
retention mechanism to secure the HBA to the system’s chassis.
7. Replace the cover of the chassis.
8. Connect SAS cables between the HBA and the SAS enclosure that contains SATA or SAS devices. The LSI
12Gb/s SAS HBA has four SFF-8644, external x4 mini-SAS HD connectors. Use a cable with an external mini-SAS
HD connector (SFF-8644) on one end (to connect to the HBA) and the appropriate connector to attach to the
enclosure that contains SAS or SATA devices on the other end.
9. Replace the cover and any power cords, and power up the system. Replace the chassis’s cover, reconnect any
power cords, and reconnect any network cables. Turn on the power.
The hardware installation of your LSI 12Gb/s SAS HBA is complete.
