2. Checking interface card status
When you run Windows 95, the Adaptec AVA-
2903E SCSI adapter is detected and the driver is
automatically installed. Make your Windows 95
CD-ROM ready for use. Some computers may
prompt you to load Windows 95 software during
your installing AVA-2903E driver. Follow steps
below to check.
1. Turn on your computer, click Start, Settings,
and select Control Panel.
2. Double-click on the System icon in Control
Panel and select Device Manager from the top.
3. Double-click on “SCSI controllers” to display
the screen below.
The message “Adaptec AIC-7850 PCI SCSI
Controller” displays indicates that the driver is
installed and the AVA-2903E interface card
works properly.
If a conflict exists, either of the following will
occur:
• a yellow exclamation mark appears next to
the phrase:
Adaptec AIC-7850 PCI SCSI
Controller
- or -
• nothing is listed under “SCSI Controllers”.
In either case, refer to the Troubleshooting
section.
To install under Windows 95, take the steps below:
1. Install the interface card in your computer
2. Check the interface card status
3. Install software
4. Reset the scanner’s SCSI ID if necessary
5. Connect the scanner and computer
6. Check the scanner status
7. Test your scanner
1. Installing the interface card
Before installing the interface card supplied with
your scanner, make sure you turn off your computer
and peripherals. Then follow the steps below:
1. Shut down your computer and unplug the
power cord. Next, remove the cover from your
computer.
2. Look for an available PCI card slot (typically
white or ivory) in your computer. Remove the
slot cover, and insert the SCSI card into the
slot. Push the card in to make sure it's seated
all the way in the slot.
This is important, as an improper card connection
will make you unable to use your scanner, and
you will then have to remove the computer case
and restart the card all over again.
Note: In this manual, we use the Adaptec 2903 card as an
example. The SCSI card that came with your scanner may
be different, check your Microtek scanner dealer.
3. Replace the cover of the computer, then plug
the power cord back in.
