3 Turn ON the power for the peripheral(s) then for the computer. In most cases your computer, host adapter, and SCSI peripherals are now ready to use. Booting the Computer The AVA-1505 does not provide booting capability. If you want to boot from a SCSI drive installed on the host adapter, you can install an AVA-1515, which provides booting capability. 6 Software Installation DOS/Windows Platforms For installing software, insert the software diskette into a floppy diskette drive, change to the drive letter of that drive (either A or B), and type install and press Enter. Then follow the instructions onscreen or in the software documentation. Remember the software and hardware settings for interrupt channel and port address must match, see Section 4, Installing the Host Adapter, and Section 8, Jumper Block Settings. Note: If you change the interrupt channel or the port address jumper setting after installing the software, you may need to reinstall or reconfigure the software. See the software documentation. 7 Troubleshooting Checklist If you have a problem during installation, check these items first: s Are all SCSI peripheral devices powered? Did you power them before system boot? s Are all SCSI bus cables and power cables properly connected? s Do the host adapter and all devices on the SCSI bus have unique SCSI IDs? s Are all devices on the SCSI bus terminated properly? (See Section 5, Connecting Peripherals.) 5
