SCSI Card 2930CU Installation Guide R
This Installation Guide describes how to install the Adaptec SCSI Card 2930CU. It also describes how to install and connect your internal and external SCSI devices. For instructions on how to install the SCSI card driver, refer to the SCSI Card 2930CU User’s Guide on the SCSI Card 2930 CD.
Installing the SCSI Card 2930CU To install the SCSI Card 2930CU 1 Ground yourself by touching the chassis. 2 3 4 Turn off the computer and disconnect the power cord. Open the computer cabinet, following the manufacturer’s instructions. Find an unused PCI expansion slot (typically white or ivory) in the computer. Unscrew the expansion slot cover screw and remove the slot cover to provide an opening, as shown. Save the slot cover screw for use in Step 7.
5 Remove the SCSI Card 2930CU from its antistatic packaging. Note: Always handle the SCSI card by its edges or metal bracket. Do not touch the gold connector or any components on the card. 6 Place the SCSI Card 2930CU in the slot and press it down firmly until the connector fingers are fully seated. 7 Secure the card bracket with the screw you removed in Step 4. Card bracket Do not close the computer cabinet or reconnect the power cord yet.
Installing Internal SCSI Devices If you are connecting only external devices, skip to Connecting External SCSI Devices on page 8. To install internal SCSI devices 1 Ensure that each internal SCSI device has a unique SCSI ID number between 0 and 6. Refer to the SCSI device’s documentation for instructions on setting the SCSI ID. Note: Avoid touching the device connector pins. 2 Mount each SCSI device in an available drive bay inside your computer.
Blue or red stripe denotes Pin 1 Standard 50-pin internal SCSI cable (included in kit) Key Pin 1 marking 4 5 Internal SCSI connector Connect the other end of the cable to the internal SCSI device. If you are installing one internal SCSI device only, you must terminate this device, then skip to Step 8 on page 7. Refer to your SCSI device’s documentation for termination instructions.
6 Connect any other internal SCSI devices, as shown. Terminated internal SCSI device Internal SCSI cable Unterminated internal SCSI device 7 8 Terminate the device that is connected to the end of the cable. Refer to the SCSI device’s documentation for instructions. Connect a power cable from your computer’s power supply to the power input connector on the SCSI device, as shown. Repeat this step for each SCSI device.
9 Close the computer cabinet. Do not reconnect the power cord yet. If you are also connecting external SCSI devices, skip to the next section, Connecting External SCSI Devices. If you are not connecting external SCSI devices, complete the installation by continuing with Step 10. 10 Reconnect the power cord, then turn on the computer. 11 Install the software driver for your operating system. See Installing Drivers on page 11 for more information.
To connect external SCSI devices 1 Ensure that each external SCSI device has a unique SCSI ID from 0 to 6. For most external SCSI devices, the SCSI ID is set with a switch on the back of the device, as shown. Refer to the SCSI device’s documentation for instructions on setting the SCSI ID. Note: Each device connected to your SCSI Card 2930CU (both internal and external) must have a unique SCSI ID from 0 to 6. You cannot use the same SCSI ID twice.
2 Connect one end of an external SCSI cable to the SCSI Card 2930CU external SCSI connector. Secure the cable by tightening the thumb screws on the cable connector. Note: Avoid touching the device connector pins. 3 Connect the other end of the cable to a SCSI connector on the back of the SCSI device. 4 If you are installing only one external SCSI device, terminate the device. Refer to your SCSI device’s documentation for termination instructions.
6 7 Reconnect the power cord to the computer and connect power cables to the external SCSI devices. Turn on the SCSI devices and allow them to power up. Then turn on the computer. Continue with the next section, Installing Drivers. Installing Drivers This Guide provides basic driver installation instructions for Windows XP, 2000, Me, 98, and 95. For Windows NT 4.0 driver installation instructions, refer to the SCSI Card 2930CU User’s Guide on the SCSI Card 2930 CD.
Windows Me Windows Me has embedded driver support for a SCSI card as part of the installation software. When the SCSI Card 2930CU is installed and you have restarted your computer, the Add New Hardware Wizard window appears to guide you through the final steps. 1 When the Add New Hardware Wizard appears, select the top radio button to launch an automatic search for the most suitable driver, and click Next.
If Windows 95/98 is already installed on your system, see Installing the Driver When Windows 95 is Already Installed on page 14 or Installing the Driver When Windows 98 is Already Installed on page 15. Note: When Windows 95/98 starts, if a New Hardware Found dialog box displays after your SCSI Card 2930CU has been installed, select Driver from Disk Provided by Hardware Manufacturer. Insert the SCSI Card 2930 CD into the CD-ROM drive and type the drive letter for your CD-ROM drive.
Installing the Driver When Windows 95 is Already Installed 1 Start Windows 95. 2 Click Start, point to Settings, then click Control Panel. Double-click System. Click on the Device Manager tab. 3 Click the plus sign (+) next to Other Devices, then double-click PCI SCSI Bus Controller to open the PCI SCSI Bus Controller Properties window. Click the Driver tab, then click Update Driver. 4 Insert the SCSI Card 2930 CD into your CD-ROM drive. Ensure that Yes is selected, then click Next.
Installing the Driver When Windows 98 is Already Installed To update or install the driver if Windows 98 is already installed 1 Start Windows 98. 2 Click Start, point to Settings, then click Control Panel.
