• Engineers and managers who are evaluating the Intel
adapter for possible use in a system
1.1 Organization
Use this manual to install and configure your Intel® Raid Controller SRCS28X in the host system.
The information in this document is independent of the back-end bus that the system uses and
applies to both MegaRAID SCSI storage adapters and Serial ATA storage adapters.
This document has the following chapters and appendixes:
• Chapter 2, “Introduction”describes the Intel
• Chapter 3, “Hardware Installation”describes how to install an Intel
SRCS28X in a system.
• Chapter 4, “Intel® Raid Controller SRCS28X Characteristics”provides the environmental and
electrical specifications for the Intel
the mechanical drawing, jumper definitions, and connector locations for the Intel
Controller SRCS28X.

1.3 Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect your computer system from potential damage
and to ensure your own personal safety.
Intel® Raid Controller SRCS28X User Manual 7
Preface
1.3.1 When Using Your Computer System
As you use your computer system, observe the following safety guidelines:
Caution: Do not operate your computer system with any cover(s) (such as computer covers, bezels, filler
brackets, and front-panel inserts) removed:
• To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the power
supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your location:
— 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern
countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan
— 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East. Also be sure your
monitor and attached peripherals are electrically rated to operate with the AC power
available in your location.
• To help avoid possible damage to the system board, wait five seconds after turning off the
system before removing a component from the system board or disconnecting a peripheral
device from the computer.
• To help prevent electric shock, plug the computer and peripheral power cables into properly
grounded power sources. These cables are equipped with 3-prong plugs to ensure proper
grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from a cable. If you must
use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
• To help protect your computer system from sudden, transient increases and decreases in
electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply.
• Be sure nothing rests on your computer system’s cables and that the cables are not located
where they can be stepped on or tripped over.
• Do not spill food or liquids on your computer. If the computer gets wet, consult the
documentation that came with it.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your computer. Doing so can cause fire or electric
shock by shorting out interior components.
• Keep your computer away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents.
Avoid placing loose papers underneath your computer; do not place your computer in a closedin wall unit or on a rug.
1.3.2 When Working Inside Your Computer
Note: Do not attempt to service the computer system yourself, except as explained in this guide and
elsewhere in Intel documentation. Always follow installation and service instructions closely.
1. Turn off your computer and any peripherals.
2. Disconnect your computer and peripherals from their power sources. Also disconnect any
telephone or telecommunications lines from the computer.
3. Doing so reduces the potential for personal injury or shock.
Also note these safety guidelines:
• When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain-relief loop, not on the cable
itself. Some cables have a connector with locking tabs; if you are disconnecting this type of
cable, press in on the locking tabs before disconnect the cable. As you pull connectors apart,
