INTRODUCTION
This Quick Reference Guide was designed specifically to provide you with an easy
reference for installing the Grappler+ SCSI+Serial PCI Board.
OPERATING SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
On a PowerMac or G3, use an operating system that is Mac OS 7.5 or higher.
CONNECTION NOTE
There are four connectors on the Grappler+
SCSI+Serial board:
1) One internal 50-pin SCSI connector
2) One external DB 25-pin SCSI connector
3) Two mini-din 8 Macintosh compatible serial
ports.
INSTALLING THE GRAPPLER+
SCSI+SERIAL BOARD
The following are steps for installing the
Grappler+ Board:
1) Turn computer power OFF.
2) Remove the Mac chassis cover to access the
expansion slot and expansion slot covers.
Consult the chapter on "Installing PCI Cards,
Memory, and Internal Storage Devices" in the
Setup Manual that came with your Mac.
3) Identify an unused PCI expansion slot.
4) Remove the cover from the selected expansion slot.
5) Align bus connector on the bottom of the host adapter with the available slot. Carefully insert the
card into the slot. Attach the Grappler+ SCSI bracket to the chassis with the expansion slot cover
screw. (Some older Mac models may not have a hole for screw mounting).
CONNECTING INTERNAL SCSI DEVICES
Follow the steps listed below to connect SCSI devices mounted inside your Mac. Do NOT install
differential devices, which can burn up the power supply. Install only single-ended devices. Use
the internal SCSI cable included with the Grappler SCSI to connect your SCSI devices, or use an
internal cable that supports the number of devices you wish to connect. If the cable does not have
a built-in terminator, make sure you terminate the last internal device on the cable.
1) Follow the instructions with your SCSI devices and disable termination on all internal SCSI
devices except the last one.
2) Plug the 50-pin female on the end of your internal cable into the Grappler SCSI’s internal SCSI
connector. (Make sure the end of the cable is not terminated.) When installing, make sure to
match up pin 1 on the connector and on the ribbon cable.
3) Plug the female end of the cable into the connector of the closest internal SCSI device. Maintain
Pin 1 orientation.
4) Add new devices individually and check to make sure each runs properly before adding the next
one.
