2. Installation 2. Installation 5. Carefully insert the edge connector J1 of the host adapter into the PCI slot. Make sure the edge connector is properly engaged before pressing the board into place. NOTE: You may notice that the components on a PCI host adapter face the opposite way from those on other non-PCI plug-in boards you have in your system. This is correct, and the board is keyed to go in only one way. 6. The bracket around the connector J2 should fit where the blank panel was removed. Secure it with the bracket screw before making the internal and external SCSI bus connections. 7. If you are connecting any internal SCSI devices, plug a 68-pin connector on the end of the internal SCSI ribbon cable into the connector J4 or J5. Make certain to match pin-1 on both connectors. Chain your internal devices on this cable. 8. Connect your computer's LED cable if desired. This LED cable drives the front panel LED found on most PC cabinets to indicate activity on the SCSI bus. 9. Replace the cabinet cover as described in the user's manual for your computer. 10.Make all external SCSI bus connections. REMEMBER: The SCSI bus requires proper termination and no duplicate SCSI IDs. 11.Finally, refer to the PCI SCSI Device Management System SDMS 4.0 User's Guide (or the guide for the software that you will use) to load the driver software for your particular operating system. 14 ASUS PCI-SC896 User's Manual
