Installing the Adaptec 2930 SCSI Card
The Adaptec 2930 card is a plug and play card, so all that you have to do is plug the card into
an available PCI slot inside your computer.
Make sure to shut down your computer and unplug the power cable.
NOTE: You should have a screwdriver handy before you begin installation of the 2930 card.
The next step is to remove the cover of your computer so that we can see inside. Some
computer systems have screws located on the back of the case that will need to be removed in
order to take off the cover. When removing the screws on the back of your computer,
remember that only the screws holding the cover in place need to be removed. Some systems
require you to pull the cover forward to remove it, whereas others lift right off.
You may need to remove some screws to take the cover off your computer.
IMPORTANT! Before you touch any components inside the computer, touch the metal
case to ground yourself and discharge any static electricity that you may have
accumulated.
Once the cover is removed, locate a free PCI expansion slot. (PCI slots are short, and are
typically white or ivory.) This is where the Adaptec 2930 card is going to be installed.
The screw holding the metal plate in place may have to be removed in order to install the card.
Once the plate is removed, you should be able to place the card into the slot, with the end of the
card sticking out the back of the computer. The picture on the next page shows a free computer
slot, with the metal plate removed.
