2. Install the Expansion Card
1. Unplug your computer. Open the system case and remove the slot
cover for the expansion slot you wish to use.
2. Align the connectors and insert the card into the expansion slot
firmly, making sure that the connectors are evenly inserted.
3. Install the card's mounting bracket to the system's case.
4. Attach SCSI cables from your internal SCSI devices and the audio
cable from your CD-ROM.
5. Close your system case and power on your computer in order to setup
the software.
3. Connect Cables
Once the card is installed in your system you should connect the cables for whatever
devices you want to attach to the card. These divide into two types, CD-ROM audio
cables and SCSI bus cables.
Audio Cables
As noted on the card diagram, there are connections for three types of CD-ROM audio
cables. If you have a CD-ROM installed in your system, connect it to the appropriate
connector. Note that many drives manufactured by vendors other than the three noted
have audio cables that are compatible with one of these three connectors. Review the
documentation that came with the drive for further information.
SCSI Cabling
The card has two SCSI cable connectors, one for 8-bit Fast SCSI and the other for
16-bit Wide SCSI. SCSI devices must be connected in a direct line forming a "bus"
with no branching.
SCSI Cable Limits:
SCSI TYPE
Cable Length Limit
Single-ended SCSI
6 meters (19.7 feet)
Fast Single-ended SCSI 3 meters (9.8 feet)
WARNING: This adapter is for "Single-Ended" SCSI devices only. Do not
connect "Differential" SCSI devices to this adapter.
