2. Unpack the host adapter card and prepare it for installation.
Refer to the documentation accompanying the host adapter card.
3. Open the computer covers.
4. Install the controller card in an expansion slot.
See “Installing an Expansion Card” in Chapter 8 for information on installing the
card.
5. Detach the interface cable from the Ultra 160/m SCSI host adapter connector on
the system board (labeled “SCSI1”) (see Figure 8-1 for the location of this
connector).
6. Connect the end of the Ultra 160/m SCSI interface cable to the connector on the
host adapter card.
To identify the correct connector, refer to documentation for the host adapter
card.
7. If you are attaching multiple external SCSI devices, daisy-chain the devices to
each other using the cables shipped with each device.
See each device's documentation for information on cabling that device as part of
a daisy chain.
8. Close the computer covers, and then reconnect the computer and peripherals to
their AC power sources.
9. Connect the external SCSI device(s) to electrical outlet(s).
For each external device, plug the socket end of the power cable into the power
receptacle on the back of the device. Plug the other end of the power cable into
an electrical outlet.
10. Install any required SCSI device drivers.
See Chapter 3, "Installing and Configuring SCSI Drivers," in the User's Guide for
information and instructions.
11. Test the SCSI devices.
Test a SCSI hard-disk drive by running the Dell Diagnostics. To test a SCSI tape
drive, also refer to the documentation for the tape drive software to perform a
tape drive backup and verification test.
