Section Two Preparation and Configuration Floppy Enable - when installed, enables the floppy to respond to I/O writes and reads. Default is jumper installed, floppy enabled. If there is another floppy controller in the system, the floppy controller on the AHA-1542B can be disabled by removing this jumper. DREQ 2,3 - selects either DREQ 2 or 3 for floppy controller. At least one jumper must be installed for operation, and the corresponding DACK jumper must also be installed. Default is jumper in Pin Pair position 2, DREQ 2. DACK 2,3 - selects either DACK 2 or 3 for floppy controller. At least one jumper must be installed for operation, and the corresponding DREQ jumper must also be installed. Default is jumper in Pin Pair position 4, DACK 2. IRQ 6,10 - selects either interrupt channel 6 or interrupt channel 10. At least one must be selected for proper operation. Default is jumper in Pin Pair position 6, Interrupt Channel 6. Dual Speed - this jumper should be installed when a floppy drive with a dual speed spindle is used. For normal operation this jumper should not be installed. 2.3.4 SCSI Terminators RN2, RN3, and RN5 are the SCSI terminators. If both an internal and an external SCSI cable is used, then the farthest end of both the internal and the external cable should be terminated (either by terminators on a SCSI device or by passive terminators attached to the cable); all three terminators on the AHA-1540B/1542B must be removed. If an internal or an external cable is used (but not both) then the farthest end of that cable should be terminated and the terminators should remain installed on the AHA-1540B/1542B. Default is terminators installed. AHA-1540B/1542B 2-13 adaptec

by
removing
this
jumper.
DREQ
2,3
selects
either
DREQ
2
or
3
for
floppy

At
least
one
jumper
must
be
installed
for
operation,
and
the
correspond-
ing
DACK
jumper
must
also
be
installed.
Default
is
jumper
in

selects
either
DACK
2
or

At

must
be

this
jumper
should
be
installed
when
a

drive
with
a
dual

is
used.
For
normal

should
not

2.3.4
SCSI
Terminators
RN2,
RN3,
and
RN5
are
the
SCSI
terminators.
If
both
an
internal
and
an
external
SCSI
cable
is
used,
then
the
farthest
end
of
both
the
internal
and
the
external
cable
should
be
terminated
(either
by
terminators
on
a
SCSI
device
or
by
passive
terminators
attached
to
the
cable);
all
three
terminators
on
the
AHA-1540B/1542B
must
be
removed.
If
an
internal
or
an
external
cable
is
used
(but
not
both)
then
the
farthest
end
of
that

should
be

and
the

should
remain
