Introduction
This installation guide provides the instructions needed to install and
use your new SCSI host adapter. Once you have performed the simple
installation steps listed on pages 2 through 5, your host adapter and
SCSI devices are ready for operation.
We recommend that you keep this installation guide with your impor-
tant computer documents. One of the benefits of SCSI is that you can
connect as many as seven peripherals to your host adapter. If you are
not connecting the full complement of seven peripherals during your
initial installation, when the time comes to add another peripheral,
this installation guide will help with that installation.
Also, this installation guide includes information on the Adaptec
SCSI
Select
™ configuration utility. After installation, you can use this
utility to reconfigure your host adapter without having to reopen the
computer or handle the card.
Host Adapter BIOS PROM
Provides booting capabilities
from a SCSI hard disk drive.
Also stores the onboard
SCSI
Select
configuration utility.
LED Connector
Connects to the
computer's LED cable
to display activity on
the SCSI bus.
Switch Block
Controls host adapter BIOS
and I/O port addresses in
non-Plug and Play systems.
Internal SCSI Connector
Uses a 50-pin internal SCSI ribbon cable to
connect internal SCSI devices.
External SCSI Connector
Uses 50-pin high-density external
SCSI cables to connect external
SCSI devices.
