Installing the SCSI Adapter Card
You can install the SCSI adapter card in any one of the option
slots available in your EISA Series desktop computer. If you have
the tower model, you can install the card in slots 1 through 6
only; you cannot install a bus-mastering device in slot 7.
If you plan to connect an internal SCSI device to the SCSI
interface, you may want to install the SCSI adapter card in option
slot 1. With the card in this slot, you can easily run the cable from
the internal SCSI connector to the internal SCSI device. If you
install the card in one of the other option slots, the cable may
interfere with another card in your system.
If you plan to connect only external SCSI devices to your
computer, install the card in any option slot (with the exception
of slot 7 on the EISA Series tower model). The external connector
is accessible from the back panel of your computer after you install
the card.
Follow all the instructions for installing an option card in
Chapters 4 and 5 of your EISA Series User’s Guide. Then continue
with the instructions in the next section to install your SCSI
devices.
Installing Your SCSI Devices
Now you are ready to install your SCSI devices and connect them
to the SCSI interface.
Caution
You must connect only single-ended devices to the SCSI interface.
Attempting to connect a differential SCSI device may damage the SCSI
adapter card and the device.
If you are connecting more than one SCSI device, be sure to read the
information in the previous chapter on the SCSI ID number and the
terminators. If you do not follow the guidelines regarding these items,
you can damage your equipment and interfere with the operation of the
SCSI interface and your computer.
