Installing a HP Smart Array E200/128 Controller

Hi everyone,
I have purchased this HP Proliant Dl320 Server and I got 2 SATA 160 GB hdd. I wanted to make these Hard drives hot swappable and I purchased HP Smart Array E200/128 CXontroller with the necessary cable. I'm not a hardware guy that much so I was wondering if any one of you can provide me instructions on how to install this new controller on the mother board and connect it to the existing 2 hard drives? The cable that comes with it has 4 SATA connectors on one end and a anothe rtype of connector that I do not know what it is. The other end goes into the controller and it says Host Base on it.
My Question is which Host Base P1I or P2I I should use on the connector? Also How should I connect the Hard drives to the controller?Start Free Trial
